Fingerless Mitt Kit - Superhero Genes Mixed Stripes and Silver

Get yarn and pattern in one easy kit.

This is the Superhero Genes Kit - so you'll receive the superhero genes mini skeins NOT the rainbow colours shown in the pattern. The pattern is written for the original rainbow colours, so you can choose which order you'd like to work your mini skeins in (we'd recommend dark to light or light to dark)

Each kit contains enough yarn to make one pair of mitts, and a printed pattern. The Pattern also contains a link to download a digital copy of the pattern (please save this somewhere safe).

Simple fingerless mitts show off a whole rainbow of colours. These seamless mitts have long ribbed cuffs to keep your wrists cosy. The hands are worked in stocking stitch and there is a thumb gusset for easy movement. Another rib section at the top ensures a snug fit around your fingers, and this can be worn folded back when you prefer to have your fingers uncovered. There’s a choice of three kits that work with this same pattern. The difference is the rainbow striping: narrow or wide, or one mitt of each.

4ply/Fingering weight; 100% British Blue Faced Leicester superwash wool; 280m/306yds per 70g/2.5oz kit 

Mixed Kit quantities: Main Colour: 180m/197yds in 45g/1.57oz
Contrast Colours: 100m/109yds in 25g/0.93oz

Each kit contains the Main Colour and eight Contrast Colours. There are equal amounts of the Contrast Colours, so you can use them in whatever order you would like, even on the Thumb. Each kit contains enough yarn to work a pair of mitts in the largest size at the correct tension, plus a margin of 10%.

The width of stripe you can work is based on the kit you have, so the Narrow Kit has the correct quantities of different colours for working the Narrow Stripe Sequence, and the Wide Kit for the Wide Stripe Sequence. The Mixed Kit has the right quantity for one of each!
