If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.

In ice skating, the Backflip is a breath-taking figure that only the most skilled skaters can perform.

Because of its extreme difficulty it is a dangerous move with a high risk of injury - that‘s why the Backflip is not allowed to be shown in competitions.

It is, however, still performed in freestyle skating, and my heart just skips a beat when I see dancers perform like this.

These mitts (and also the matching Backflip hat) are my take on this move; my translation into knitting.

Knit yours in The Periwinkle Sheep‘s Sport Wolle - a lovely Merino that comes in a wide variety of colorways.

Pattern has been tech-edited and test knitted.
