GREAT PATTERN FOR HAND-SPUN

Centripetal Mittens is a pattern that creates a pair of mitts using the brioche stitch. It is a great pattern to introduce knitters to brioche knitting and for hand-spun long color repeating yarn.

Suggestions given in pattern to make mitts with hand-spun or with commercial yarn. Spinning suggestions for fiber and finishing your hand-spun yarn also included in the pattern.

With 2 color brioche a fabric is created that is reversible but one side has a completely different look from the other side. This brioche pattern is unique as a cable has been added, not just a cable but also a reversible cable using double knitting.
