This design is worked from the top (finger cuff) down. It is worked in the round and features a simple diamond lace chart. I prefer something with a dreamy halo for this design.

Why such a wide size range for such an obviously feminine design? That, my friend, is for trans inclusion. Everyone deserves gorgeous knits that make them feel beautiful. I’m proud to be a trans friendly designer!

Sizes: Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large) to fit a hand circumference of 6” (7”, 7.5”, 8.5”, 9.5”)/15 (18, 19, 21.5, 24) cm.
This pattern is designed with a bit of negative ease.

Yarn: 75 - 200 yards/70 - 180 meters DK weight yarn.
