This pattern is part of Coastal Path Knits, a collection of ten knitting patterns inspired England’s East Anglian coastline. See this thread for more information about these patterns.

The Naze is the most easterly peninsula in Essex where you can find a unique coastal landscape with fast eroding cliffs that are made up of clay, gravel and many, many fossilised sharks teeth. The small black sharks teeth are easy to find with just a bit of digging and a little bit of luck.

The Shark Teeth Mitts are knit in the round from the cuff up, the length can be increased/decreased by repeating the lace pattern as many times as desired.

The pattern has both written and charted instructions.
