My So Called Mitts are designed to showcase variegated and multicolor yarns with a fun, textured stitch pattern, the Herringbone Stitch.

These fingerless mitts are also great for stashbusting and using leftovers: the mitts are worked from the top down so you can max out the cuff length without the fear of running out of yarn before reaching the fingers. Even the thumbs can be worked from the other end of the ball.
