Notes: With all-over stranded colourwork that’s actually far from lazy, Lackadaisical fingerless mitts feature a lazy daisy flower power motif with a special textured knot stitch on the largest flower. Starting with a twined 2-colour cast-on and a Latvian braid, the mitts are knit in the round from the cuff up.
A thumb gusset helps the mitts flex with hand movements. The knot stitch is a modified version of an Estonian nupp. Ensure you are working from correct charts for your size.
