I've test knit these mittens in the middle of December, and now the pattern has been released. The Mod mittens by Kirsten Kapur.
I liked the design as soon as I saw it.
The colors are reversed on the palm side. This was a delightful knit.
I've used Cascade Yarns 220 Sport for these, and I think this is perfect yarn for colorwork. One ball of each color was needed to knit a pair, with a little left over.
The single mitten above will stay single. It was my first try. I cast on for size L, but my gauge was way off. It turned out huge. Like an oven mitt. I love the color combination, and until I need that yarn for something else, I'll just leave it for now.
The green/white ones are size S, and they fit my hands perfectly.

And a quick picture of the boys. Denny really has no idea of personal space.
Happy does not look so happy here, in fact, he soon after moved off to another place, leaving the dog bed to Denny.

I saw that pattern today. Your green and white ones are lovely!! I am glad they fit. Oh dear, Denny does have personal space issues and Happy looks like he is sitting next to an undesirable on the comfy bed bus!!
I, too, love the green and white! Thanks for the sizing info...I have a feeling mittens like this will be in my future projects!
Our dogs only use the dog bed one-at-a-time. I've tried to make them share, but the older dog just can't relax with the insane puppy (she's 2 now) lying beside her!
I love pretty much all of Kirsten's designs - no exception there! Yours look fantastic.
I've been admiring that design since it went into test knitting. I think i might just have to break down and squeeze in a pair :)
ach sind die schön ...so schöne Fäustlinge ....

Gorgeous mittens :)
wunderschön. Ich mag solche Muster. Ich könnte sie mir auch gut aus Farbverlaufsgarn vorstellen.

i really like that pattern. love your version in green and white.
That is a very pretty design and reminds me I have a kit ready to go for mittens in this style :)))
I'm surprised that Denny is such a cuddler that doesn't seem to fit with the rest of his personality.
I love that pattern but I didn't realize it was reversed on the back. I'm not sure about that bit.
Those are lovely mittens! I've been wanting to try out the Cascade Sport yarn.
Happy reminds me of my GSD Ella. She liked her personal space. Whenever I would hug her she would sigh this HUGE sigh and then get up and leave. It would only take 5 minutes and she'd leave. :)
Who knew that Denny's pack mentality extended to his sleep habits? LOL!
The mittens are adorable, in fact, I love most of Kristin's designs (don't know why I haven't knit any yet).
LOVE these! And I just might have some 220 Superwash Sport in my stash! They're beautiful Monika!
Those are awesome! Love them. Especially the green.
Monika- You've been busy. Those are lovely mittens, because they're a simple, effective design.
Dogs crack me up!
Very cool mittens!
Poor Happy.
Kristen Kapur's designs are always so beautiful! I'm knitting her Andrea's Shawl right now! I love your versions!
Love the mittens!

Poor Happy. But so darling. Like those mittens!
