Backflip Mitts

The Backflip in ice skating is a breathtaking figure that only the most skilled skaters can perform. This stunning move combines artistry and athleticism, making it a spectacle that captivates audiences. However, because of its extreme difficulty, the Backflip carries a high risk of injury, which is why it is not allowed to be showcased in competitive events.

Despite this restriction, the Backflip is still a popular maneuver in freestyle skating, mesmerizing fans and enthusiasts alike. Every time I witness dancers effortlessly execute this daring move, my heart skips a beat. The grace and precision it demands is truly inspiring.

Inspired by this exhilarating figure, I have designed these delightful mitts, along with a matching Backflip hat, to translate the essence of the ice skating Backflip into the art of knitting. These cozy accessories are perfect for conveying your passion for skating while keeping your hands warm during chilly days.

You can create your own pair of Backflip mitts using The Periwinkle Sheep’s Sport Wolle—an exquisite Merino wool that is not only soft to the touch but also comes in a wide array of vibrant colorways. Whether you choose a bold hue that echoes the thrill of the ice or a muted tone for a more classic look, these mitts will be a stylish addition to your winter wardrobe.
