Tangent
Discover the artistry of the TANGENT mitts, designed with integrated thumbs and a unique approach to angles and curves. These creative mitts are crafted from the cuff-up, featuring intriguing columns that emerge from a twisted rib and elegantly curve around the thumb before folding back into the top rib. Additionally, the back of the hand is designed on the bias, creating a striking contrast to the rest of the mitt. The TANGENT pattern utilizes a lightweight DK/sport-weight yarn, allowing the unusual fabric movement to shine in smooth stocking stitch, making it a visually appealing project for knitters.
This pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to hone their skills, as it involves knitting in the round, increases and decreases, as well as the backward loop cast on technique. With finished measurements of 6 (7, 8, 9) inches / 15 (17.5, 20, 22.5) cm in palm circumference, the mitts are designed to fit snugly, offering no ease for an optimal fit.
