The Mitts of Sisyphus

Introducing "Sisyphus," a captivating knitting pattern inspired by the myth of the king of Ephyra, who was condemned by the gods to eternally roll a boulder to the top of a hill, only to watch it roll back down each time he neared the summit. Unlike the frustration inherent in the original myth, this delightful knitting project is a breeze to complete, thanks to its extremely easy geometric colorwork design. Even if you have never tried colorwork knitting before, you'll find this pattern simple and enjoyable!

The pattern provides specific gauge and needle recommendations for the small size. If you're interested in the large size, you'll need to use US size 2 and 3 knitting needles, achieving a gauge of 28 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches. This makes it perfect for knitters who want a project that results in a cozy and stylish accessory while honing their colorwork skills.

"Sisyphus" is the first in a stunning trio of patterns. Be sure to explore the complementary designs, Pandora Mitts and Medusa Mittens, to complete your collection. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a curious beginner, this pattern is an ideal way to dive into the world of colorwork knitting!
