pantone 2 0 2 1 mittens

Pantone has chosen two shades for its Color of the Year 2021.

The bright yellow shade, called Illuminating, is meant to evoke the optimistic promise of a sunshine-filled day, while Ultimate Gray is a much quieter hue that speaks more of composure, steadiness and resilience.

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray & PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another, best express the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021.

Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of Ultimate Gray & Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.

A message of happiness supported by fortitude, the combination of grey & yellow is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit.

I love this color combination and the idea behind it. So i decided to crochet a pair of fingerless mittens in the Pantone colors of the year 2021.

The diagonal striped pantone 2021 mittens are available in my ETSY SHOP now.

For over 20 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.

Every Pantone Color of the Year from 2000 - 2020 is shown HERE.

new collection

For the ones that can't crochet, I've made a new collection diagonal stiped fingerless mittens.

One pair in black & off white, another pair in anthracite grey & off white.
And for those who don't shy away from a little color;
burgundy red & turquoise blue
yellow ocher & bright pink
orange brown & cobalt blue

You can buy them in my ETSY SHOP.

If you rather want to crochet the mittens yourself, you can find two different crochet patterns for fingerless mittens in my Etsy shop. A fast, fun and easy crochet project. And the mittens are very practical, warm and unisex. Moreover, it's an excellent handmade December gift.

Oh and the top pair on the stack (rusty brown & lilac) didn't make it to this blog post. Sold 3 minutes after I listed them in my etsy shop yesterday.

rotterdam - sunny stripes & warm wrists

The lilac & orange brown stiped fingerless mittens I made yesterday. Even two(!) pairs in one day.

Actually i made the first pair for myself, and i received a request via instagram, so i made the same pair again.

It's a quick and fun crochet project and I certainly intend to make a few more in the coming weeks.

Do you want to surprise someone with a handmade gift or treat yourself to woolly wrist warmers?

You can download two different crochet patterns for fingerless mittens in my Etsy shop.

Today we took advantage of the only sunny day this week and had lunch with a super tasty sandwich from Koozie at the quay of the Maas.

diagonally striped mittens - crochet pattern

What a year this week has been.

We are all in the same #stayhome situation and I will not elaborate on it now.

As a matter of fact, I did not really find time to crochet much, but I did a lot of things in the house and garden.

Due to this whole quarantine challenge many unfinished projects and piled up mess are finally tackled. No rush, because we seem have lots of time all of a sudden.

As promised, I wrote and worked out the crochet pattern for the diagonally striped fingerless mittens. The pattern is now for € 1,00 available in my ETSY SHOP in Dutch and English version.

The proceeds of the pattern sale will be donated to a corona fund, just like all other patterns in the shop.

I would like to thank everyone for the many enthusiastic purchases of cocooning craft patterns. I hope you all amuse yourself while crafting and the crochet- and knitting pattern are helpful to prevent boredom.

And well spring has started, time for mittens is almost over. Who cares? You can also use the pattern to make a sunglass or phone cover. Use your imagination...

Stay home and stay positive!

Xx
