This pattern looks most striking in highly contrasting solid or semi-solid colours. Consider a contrast in value (light and dark) in addition to hue.

The pattern for these little mitts came from the twisted, circular nature of this stinking thinking that used to catch me up with migraines. Hidden increases and decreases create a biased slant. The mitts are closed with a decorative bindoff that can be shown off or hidden, depending on how you wear them.
