Reversals: A Collection of Fingerless Mitts

Reversals is a collection of four stranded colorwork fingerless mitts drawn from motifs in Andrea Rangle’s stitch dictionary AlterKnit. The last few years have taught me that, sometimes, when facing a reversal in life, you need to change what you put forward. That idea inspired this collection in which each pattern creates two complementary mitts by reversing the dark and light colors in the chart (of course you can knit them both the same too).
 
Each of the patterns is named for a woman in my family, who when faced with a reversal, changed what she put forward and was able to move forward.
 
Because each pattern uses only two colors, each can be a good introduction to stranded colorwork. Each pattern can also be knit in any of four sizes (see the Gauge/Size section below). Each pattern also has charts for both color variations.
