Pattern also available in the Speckle and Stone Ebook.
These long fingerless mittens feature a striking triangular stripe motif that is achieved by working a pattern of short rows and color changes. Two strands of yarn are held together throughout to create a thick, warm fabric. The marled texture effect in some of the triangles comes from holding two contrasting strands together and lends a rustic vibe to these otherwise modern looking mitts. The pattern knits up quickly on size 6 needles, making this an especially fun, gratifying project.
