Sometimes when I see a skein of yarn dyed in rainbow colors, I see actual rainbows. When I pulled this beautiful skein of yarn from my knitting bag, I knew that whatever I made with it needed the sharp curve of a real rainbow in the sky. These mittens are a knitting adventure.
Knit flat from the center out, this pattern is not like any mitten you have knit before. After binding off around the outer edge of the palms, you will work a short row thumb gusset that will dazzle in self-striping yarn. Although both mittens are worked identically, you can add personality to each mitten by changing the color order.

Using the Magic Loop method the front & back palms of this mitten is knit flat from the center out. The front and back palm are joined along the outer edge and then the thumb gusset is worked using short rows. Finally, the cuff is picked up along the bottom edge of the palm and work in the round.
