The Gasteropoda fingerless mitts are named after a snail for the snail-like spiraling. The slow changing of the color of the yarn is shown off by this construction.

Notes:
These mitts are made by knitting the ribbed cuff in the round, then working back and forth on 2 needles to spiral around the arm. At first, you use up the live stitches from the cuff by working them together with the back and forth part, and then you continue making spiraling rounds around the arm/hand. There is no sewing – when you knit the spiraling portion, you attach it to the slipped selvedge edge from the preceding “spiral round”.
