Briochevron Mitts

Short Description: Choose two colors of worsted weight yarn for these graphic mitts knit in two-color brioche stitch. Customize the style for a cozy long sleeve or a casual wrist length. Increases and decreases create the briochevron pattern that forms a stylish curve over the fingers and on the wrist.

Gauge:  24 sts & 22 rounds = 4” / 10cm in two-color briochevron stitch

Sizes:  Wrist Length [Sleeve Length]. The circumference is written in one size since the brioche stitch is very stretchy. Different sizes can be achieved with smaller or larger needles.
