These mitts incorporate the same star stitch and lace patterns as the Stars and Lace Hat, but in different way. The lace is featured on the back of the hands, while the star stitch makes up the thumb gusset. These are a very quick knit, and will be just right for those first chilly days of fall, or mid-winter if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere mild!
