Wrought iron gates, windows, screens, and stair railings can be incredibly detailed in examples of California Revival architecture. I wanted to play with the ways ironwork scrolls and twists across vertical ribs in these pieces. Twisted and twisted travelling stitches were the perfect way to translate this to knitting.
These mitts were the first of the Wrought patterns, and their motif the guideline for all the others. I love the curls and curves you can obtain with the traveling stitches.
