The Language of Flowers Mitts(Knit Pattern)

Note: This is a listing for the printable PDF file only, not for a printed copy or the finished garment.

Design

This design beautifully complements my previous design, THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS SHAWL.

These delicate mitts are worked in the round from the bottom-up in DK weight yarn. A long, narrow band of floral lace runs down the center of the mitts with a cluster of crocheted bobbles. These mitts feature a stockinette thumb gusset. The pattern is written in ONE ADULT SIZE and will fit an average adult-sized hand circumference (see finished measurements below). The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions. All repeat sections appear in bold print for easy reading.
