This product is a knitting pattern that provides only the instructions to create the item—it does not include a finished garment. Please read the full description. The pattern may include additional instructions for design variations.
The cool mountain lake terrain of early fall was the inspiration for these long, asymmetrical fingerless mitts in two sizes (S/L), worked in rippling openwork stitch patterns. Mitts feature a biasing vine motif around the long cuffs transitioning to a solid fabric for the hand, transversed by one diagonal lace panel. The shaped thumb gusset provides a sculpted fit to complete the elegant look. The cuff length is easily shortened if desired and the circumference may be further tailored by using a smaller or larger needle size.
