Follow the rhythm of sand and sea
Coming ashore after your sea trip? Longing for the sand and sea to restore balance and prepare for your next trip? These Zand Mitts are the perfect calming knitting project for you! The stitch pattern in the natural colour of the DIJK yarn reflects shifting sand ripples sculptured by sea and wind, mimicking the rhythm of the tides: six hours of high tide and six hours of low tide.
The long fingerless mitts or arm warmers are comfy, stretchy, and knit from hand to elbow. Knitting this pair of mitts is a relaxing one-skein project. Its reversible texture is easy to knit, comfortable to wear and visually pleasing. Each mitt consists of six sections, numbered Segment I through Segment VI. At each transition from one segment to the next, the 2x2 ribbing shifts two stitches.

It is a one-skein and a one-size (M) project. The pattern provides options to make the mitts shorter, longer, smaller or larger, straight or tapered, to your liking. It can easily be adapted to the amount of yarn available.

Originally designed for one skein of DIJK from The Dutch Yarn Barn’s December 2020.

A different yarn may knit up differently, you may need to change the number of cast on sts accordingly, see under Options in the pattern.
