Hip to be Square (mittens)

Find the bundled Hip to be Square Ebook here!

Ever become obsessed with a fabric you’ve created with your yarn and needles and want to use it with absolutely everything? That’s the rabbit hole I fell down while participating in another round of the Artesanitarium Design Challenge. For this round of the challenge, our prompt was to combine two design features - After a vote with the rhyFlower test team, we decided to go forth with texture and colorwork. This was going to be a challenge for me indeed! Colorwork is not one of my stronger skills, but I agreed to go with whatever the team had chosen, so the ball was in their court! - I fell so in love with the colors and textures of Hip to be Square that I couldn’t stop knitting it and went from a cowl design to adding in a hat and mittens too.

Worked in the round, Hip to be Square contains written directions as well as charts. Hip to be Square is worked from the cuff up, features a western gusset and is finished with a symmetrical top.

The pattern is written for the magic loop; however, the pattern notes do contain details should you wish to use double pointed needles instead.
