Lady Eleanor Mittens
Lady Eleanor Mittens are the second in my “Grand Mitten” collection, named for my three grandchildren born during, or just before, the pandemic. This design features a picot-edged hem, strongly contrasting cuff and geometric colorwork patterns on the hand and palm. As is my usual, the thumb has a gusset and is just to the palm side of the mitten, making for a comfortable fit. The mitten top is slightly rounded.
