After making the Nordic Lace Hat, I thought the pattern repeat would look good on a pair of mittens too! My hands get really cold at work, so I wanted something stylish I could wear but still type at the same time! Thus the Nordic Lace Mittens were born… :)

Two versions of the pattern are available when you click to buy, to knit flat or in the round.
