The chevron pattern used here creates a highly textured, woven effect, to provide extra warmth for these cozy mittens. Inspired by trade blankets, both for the woven texture and the stripes, Holli used a contrasting colour of RCY Epic to highlight one of the chevron repeats for some added punch. The mittens are worked in the round, simply slipping stitches with the yarn in front to created the stranded chevrons.
The pictured sample is knit in RCY Epic Yarn in 300 Snow (MC) and 600 Forest (CC).
Note: River City Yarns Epic Yarn has been discontinued. For substitutions, we recommend Cascade 220 which is also a 100% Peruvian wool, for the closest fibre match. Alternatively, Berroco Ultra Wool or Rowan Pure Wool Worsted would also be good matches if you would like a superwash wool substitution.
