Miss Myrtle Mitts

Short Description: The Miss Myrtle Mitts are feminine yet functional. Worked with fingering weight yarn, they feature two small lacy leaves across the back of the hand knitted from a chart. The pattern includes directions for an optional attached rosette for even more feminine flair. The interesting mock-honeycomb borders at both the top and bottom are created from a surprisingly easy slipped stitch pattern. The delicate textures are accentuated by a picot cast-on and bind-off edging.
