Because I love corrugated ribbing, I worked out a new pattern that highlights this feature. This knitting project kept me busy for a couple of weeks while I knitted them in two sizes and in a few different color combinations.
The sizes are Small/Medium and Medium/Large. This photo shows both sizes on my medium-sized hands. The one on the left is size M/L and has a slightly loose fit on me. The one of the right is size S/M and fits me tightly. The difference in the sizes is just over half an inch around (4 stitches).
As I was saying, I love corrugated ribbing. However, it’s the one structure in colorwork knitting in which I don’t weave in the ends as I go. I’ve never found a good technique for this so I just wait to the end and weave them away from the openings so the little tails are not visible. It’s a little more work, but worth it.
The pattern below shows the colors for the smaller sized mitts on the right. Here’s the colors for the mitts with blues/reds, all of which are from the Knit Picks Palette line of 100% fingering weight wool: MC1- Garnet Heather, MC2- Marine Heather, MC3- Opal Heather, CC1 Coriander Heather, CC2 Finnley Heather, CC3 Cream. (Amounts needed are noted in pattern.)
Here is the free knitting pattern for you to enjoy. Please let me know if you make them by messaging me or posting on Ravelry.
