Pepperberry Mitts

The Pepperberry Mitts are a part of the Tasmania Collection. They feature the same Pepperberry motif as seen on the Pepperberry Jumper and these mitts would make for a great taster project for the jumper pattern!

The pattern is written for 3 adult sizes, and are meant to be worn snug, with a little bit of negative ease. 



Design notes

These fingerless mitts are worked from the cuff down and in the round.

The work begins with a half twisted rib cuff, followed by the Pepperberry pattern around

the wrist.

The thumb gusset is worked in half twisted rib, and the hand is worked in stockinette stitch.

The mitt is finished with a small slip stitch stripe detail, followed by half twisted rib edging.

Finally the thumb is worked in the round in half twisted rib all they way through.
