Free pattern DISPERSION MITTENS

Isaac Newton was the first to identify the chromatic dispersion phenomenon by demonstrating that white light can break down into a spectrum of colors when it passes through a prism.

It was to put this color theory into images that I created this pattern with the beautiful yarn GEILSK TWEED : a beautiful 100% wool from Ireland 🍀

IN ADDITION TO THE FREE PATTERN, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL TO KNIT THESE MITTENS:

• GEILSK Tweed [100% laine, 208 yds /50 g] in the following colors (1 ball / 50 g of each color):
• T16 (blue) – A
• T1 (grey) – B
• T22 (magenta) – C
• T11 (green) – D
• Circular needles or double-pointed of 3 mm; #US-2.5 (or size needed to obtain gauge)
• Stitch markers
• Stitch holder or waste yarn
• Tapestry needle

GAUGE : 34 stitches and 38 rows = 10 cm; 4" in stockinette stitch after blocking.

SIZE : Adult one size

NOTES These mittens are worked from the ribs to the fingertips. After completing the ribbing, stitches are increased to create a gusset and prepare the opening for the thumb.

The colorwork pattern is achieved by alternating the two colors A&B with C&D every 6 rounds. There is no need to cut the yarns when you change colors: Carry the color(s) not in use loosely on the WS.
