Pixelated palms were designed for my techie husband, who prefers his fingertips free for texting and web-surfing. These fingerless mittens are worked seamlessly in the round in a striking stranded colorwork pattern that shifts background color and contrast color for a unique color block effect. The left and right mittens are worked in opposite color schemes. This is a great project for using partial skeins.

This pattern is included in the Pixelated Accessories Collection Ebook. Those who have already purchased one (or two!) of the patterns will be able to purchase the book for the price of $7.25 or ($3.50). Promo Code: “One” (“Two”)
