Short Description: Dipyramitts by Emily Greene Knits. The Dipyramitts are a striking set of handwarmers, featuring an addictive two-color pattern of stranded colorwork. Designed as a companion pattern to the Dipyramid hat, the Dipyramitts pattern includes options for fingerless mitts, traditional mittens, and convertible, ‘flip-top’ mittens, all written in three sizes to fit a wide range of hands. All versions feature elegant thumb gusset shaping incorporated directly into the colorwork pattern, as well as polished finishing touches like a tubular cast-on, deep ribbed cuff, and seamlessly grafted top for the mitten versions. The Dipyramitts use just two colors of your favorite fingering-weight wool yarn - making them a great way to use up leftovers from bigger projects - and are shockingly quick to knit (and perfect for gifting)!
