Slipping Up

A pair of mitts with coloured stripes and slipped stitches on the back of the handWhen I started working on my Elemental Mitts patterns I knew I wanted to make a fifth pattern which combined the colours of the other four and here it is! Na Ceithir Dùil means the four elements in Scottish Gaelic – the perfect name for my final elemental mitts! 

Na Ceithir Dùil combines stripes of colours with slipped stitches to give gentle waving stripes across the back of the hand. They’re quick and fun to knit and give a A pair of mitts with coloured stripes and slipped stitches on the back of the handreally dramatic look to the mitt!
