Going Away Mittens #1

The other day I was at a friends house and saw her incredibly beautiful hallway tiles. I don’t often knit patterned stitches, but those tiles inspired me to create a series of accessories. You start at the fingertips and knit towards the wrist using one strand of each quality. Here, you’ll get to try both the Turkish cast-on and magic loop techniques.
