Whit's Knits: Colorblock Hand Warmers

For me, the sweet spot of knitting is when it starts to feel a lot like painting. When the form is fluid and mutable and when the palette is supple and free, then I feel that knitting really hits its creative stride. Creating these Colorblock Hand Warmers delivers just that kind of deeply satisfying experience.

The idea behind these simple mitts was to give free rein to the gorgeous colors of Madeline Tosh Merino Light, to allow the spectacularly hand dyed palette to speak its own story and to create its own beauty: from moonlight gray to buttery yellow to bronzed apricot to blazing tangerine.

Thank you!
We don't have a plan for a crocheted version now but if you'd like to give it a try we would recommend using a size C crochet hook.
Thank you for your question!
Yes! Swan's Island's Fingering ( http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/6281-Swans-Island-Fingering ) is a beautiful option! One hundred percent organic merino wool and naturally dyed colors too!
Thanks for your great question!
