METROPOLiS MITTS
ARateeterit By Vally AG The texture contrast of the stitches in these mitts are inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the gears and rivets that make up the underground world of the "Hands." The mitts are worked first back and forth to form the cuff. The ends are then joined together with slip stitches. Next the hand is worked in the round, with stitches being increased for the thumb. Thumb stitches are then put to the side and worked last after the top of the hand is completed.
