The Cowlor Wheel collection is perfect for last minute gifts. All of the patterns in this collection are worked using BULKY yarn, so you can knit them at top speed. Don’t have BULKY in your stash, try holding 2 or 3 strands of a lighter weight yarn together.

The Complementary Mittens are the forth pattern in the Cowlor Wheel collection. Mittens, you say! Why are mittens in a COWL collection? Well, it seems to me that you need mittens to complement all those cowls!

Complementary colors create a vibrant contrast when placed together. The Complementary mittens are the perfect go-with-anything project. Knitting a hat? You need mittens with that. Knitting a cowl? You need some mittens. Choose two complementary colors for this complementary knit, and watch the yarn dance as you work the simple colorwork design. Knit the mittens identically, or as fraternal twins. Let your yarn guide you on a color wheel adventure.
