Filigree Mitts by Catherine Salter Bayar

Craft: Knitting

Fingerless mitts combining variations of finely crafted Neoclassic metalwork and jewelry inspiration, wrought in geometric lace and rib.

The mitts are comprised of rounds of 1x1 rib alternating with rounds of eyelet, then transform into a complementary lace grid on the top of the hands.

Charts and written instructions are given for right-hand and left-hand. Mitts are bottom up knit in the round until the lace section, then worked flat, and again in the round for the top cuff. Thumb stitches are picked up and worked last.

Recommended for intermediate lace knitters.
