Through the Loops Designs

Clematis

With rich colors and explosions of blooms there is nothing timid about Clematis.  Worked in the intense colors of the Indie Dyer's subtly variegated "Sock-it-to-Me" yarn these mittens are reminiscent of the lovingly worked tapestries and carpets from another time and place.

Deep textured cuffs keep wrists warm.

Bright colors spice up dark or neutral winter coats.

Staccato

 

Staccato is designed with the color lover in mind.  I have given the stripe sequence for this pattern, but please feel free to stray from it and design your own stripes.  Choose fewer colors, or more.  Make your strips of equal width or more randomly sized than in mine.  The possibilities are limitless.
