Named for the old belief that random pains were caused by “elf-shot” from an elf’s arrow and finding an arrowhead would protect you from them, these gauntlets are sure to keep you protected from the cold. The scant few eyelets in both lace patterns are enough to make them pretty, but not enough to let too much chill in.

The directions are very clear with tables arranged in each section to keep the knitter in place. Stitch counts are given meticulously throughout. Even if you’ve never knit gloves before, this pattern will help you along nicely.

Pattern has been tech edited and tested.
