Turnover
See Turnover in action here (Instagram reel)
Inspired by details from my favorite cozy athleisure sweatshirts, TURNOVER is a functional fingerless mitt design created to showcase a special skein of variegated yarn. This design is created in one piece with join-as-you-go modular construction. The integrated fold-over pocket allows for a bit of extra warmth for your fingers. Wear these mitts indoors while typing or outdoors on a hike. Think of these mitts as sleeve extensions, providing a bit of extra warmth without impeding the use of your hands. Pattern includes directions for fingering weight and worsted weight versions in 1 or 2 colors.
