Original Pattern: Herrington
Knitter Extraordinaire: Cherie (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Created mittens to match the original cowl, using the stitch on a smaller scale and integrating it into a mitten, as well as over the first half of the thumb, and a speckled design on the back of the thumb. Project page can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: It's always a compliment to the designer when people create a matching accessory for an existing pattern, because it shows that the original pattern was so compelling, you just have to knit something else using this great design. I love Cherie's mittens- they are so striking and modern, and I love her solution for using the chevron design on half the thumb, with the speckles on the other side. Cherie's matching mittens are a stunning compliment to her winter wardrobe, for sure.

such pretty pattern and color combination - love it.
Oh wow this is so pretty. I'd love to make a pair of these. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love them!! I'm knitting my 2nd herrington cowl, temped to try the mittens too
How lovely! I love the little extra detail on the inside of the thumb.
LOVE these!
Your mittens are lovely! What a great use for the chevron pattern! I especially love the little dots on the back of the thumbs - so cute!! Makes me wonder what this pattern would look like in a gradient yarn? Maybe two different colours of a gradient yarn, worked as contrasts? I was thinking about using Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in maybe these two colours: https://www.fabulousyarn.com/malabrigo-metamorphosissock-insomniacake.shtml & https://www.fabulousyarn.com/malabrigo-metamorphosissock-midnightbloomcake.shtml - What do others think?
