In Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb, Queen Kettricken endears herself to the Six Duchies people by her bold and courageous acts. Both male and female guards are so impressed with their new queen that they form the Queen’s Guard. They wear her colors of purple and white, but these warm mitts will look good in any color. The subtle lace pattern forms shields embossed with a mountain representing the Mountain Kingdom from whence the Queen came. They complete the Queen’s Trilogy of patterns that includes the Queen’s Guard Socks and the Mountain Portrait Scarf.

Pattern is both written and charted - knitter’s choice!

To keep the pattern moving correctly, these fingerless gloves use an Afterthought Thumb that is explained in words and photos in the instructions.
