Flared a little at the cuff but snug around the fingers, this is a sumptuous pair of lacey mitts, and a pleasure to knit and wear in luxurious merino and kid mohair. The cuff is knit on US size 5 double pointed needles, and the upper third on size 3 DPN’s. Written instructions for the lace as well as a chart are provided, and the sparkly beaded edges are easy for knitters of all skill levels to do. The gusset shaping really creates a perfect fit!
