Is it acceptable to knit a pair of mittens that don’t match? I have some yarn I really like, acrylic, and have been hesitating to start a pair of fingerless mitts with the yarn, because the mitts won’t match, and I don’t feel like looking though the whole skein for an identical starting point. I’m not sure if there will be one, anyways.
Do you mean you are using a varigated skein? If that’s the case, even if the pattern will happen in different areas I think the overall aspect of them will probably look like a match? But either way, it’s up to you and/or the person who will wear them… your craftsmanship, your rules

These would be fraternal twin mittens rather than identical twins! Sounds good to me.

That’s nice to hear, yes, my rules, and fraternal twins are quite acceptable. 
I think I’ll try these, and see what they end up looking like: file:///C:/Users/state/Downloads/Basic_Mitten_Pattern_v2.pdf

They’re supposed to be identical twins 
I’ve tried making socks that had matching color changes and the yarn threw in an inconsistent color change and screwed it up. I asked the Raven who said, Nevermore. I don’t worry about it. The exception would be for my daughter who likes them different enough it looks intentional.
I say just do it.

Turtle Purl makes yarn for identical twin socks but I think a bit of offset (or more) is a thing of beauty. Why not?

Well, thank you all. I feel more brave about it now.
Here’s the yarn I like, that is multi-colored. Called PUZZLE yarns, by Premier yarns. Do you like their colors? I got 3 skeins…..kickball, jigsaw,and gofish

This seems to be a link to a file on your computer, which won’t open for me. Maybe you could take a pic of the pattern photo and post that?
