Who says cowgirls can’t get gussied up now and then? Here’s the perfect accessory for a little honky-tonking after the Rodeo. Knit in the round from the cuff up, this mitt features a clever bind-off that creates finger holes as you go.

The lace pattern is both charted and written out.

This mitt is specially designed for Dye2Spin’s Rodeo Queen colorway showcased in the 2014 DFW Yarn Crawl. It is the result of collaboration between dyer Ashley Wolfe and designers Laurie Beardsley (main motif) and Lisa Woof (powiesc) of Elle Novak Designs (clever bind off.) Who says cowgirls can’t do amazing things?
