Project Notebook: Lacy Mitts

I have a new pattern just released at CraftBits that I think you’ll like. The Lacy Mitts are a great project for a special woman in your life (though at this point they might have to be a belated Mother’s Day present), and worked in white or a different color of yarn I think they’d be great to wear at a summer wedding, whether you’re the bride or a guest.

The pattern features a vine lace pattern that runs up the back of the hand. The rest of the mitt is Stockinette, and a super simple gusset is worked for the thumb. They really are a pretty quick and simple knit — the lace repeat is just 4 rounds, and 2 of them are straight knitting.

I have been wearing these a lot because the lace stretches just as much as you need it to in order to give a snug fit.

The yarn, Knit Picks Palette, comes in about a million colors (OK, 150) so you can make yours in whatever color suits you.

I’d love to hear what you think of the pattern if you try it out!
