Double Rainbow
PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.
Everything comes in two’s in Double Rainbow! With Gauge Dye Works self-striping yarn you can make two pairs of mitts — one for you, one for your bestie. And you’ll hold two strands of yarn together to create gorgeous blended cable rainbows. Since the yarn is held double, the mitts are a super quick and satisfying knit. This pattern was a special collaboration with Gauge Dye Works — the yarn and pattern were designed for each other!
The yarn designed especially for this pattern is available from Gauge Dye Works.
This design is available as part of an ebook, Angles + Light.
