I love it when readers share their projects with me (you can do it by clicking “suggest a DIY” at the top of the page) because it’s just fun to see what everyone is up to and to get to share those techniques with all of you.
I’m really intrigued by the Helix Mitts from Knitting and So On. They start with just two stitches, and thanks to increases, short rows and clever connecting, the mitts are made like a spiral that wraps around the arm and hand with a thumb hole.
They’re just really clever, and pretty in the self-striping yarn used in the sample. I just may have to give this one a try!

Thanks! I think I need to try this one, too. “Knitting and So On” has several interesting patterns, and I’ll be spending some time on her Patterns page. It looks like she’s a fan of Frankie Brown’s patterns, as am I.
