“A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island. “
lyrics from “I am a Rock, “ written by Paul Simon

Those are the words of the song, these fingerless mitts have a lace and cable cuff and lace for the top of your hands with beaded “islands” in the center. This is an easy pattern. Beads are placed using the crochet hook method.
