Anne’s fingerless mitts strike a lovely balance between beauty and functionality. A shell lace pattern inspired by the rocky Breton coastline shows off Tern’s stunning stitch definition (shown here in rich Atolla), while simple ribbing adds warmth and stretch. Worked in the round from the bottom up, these mitts feature a gusseted thumb for an extra level of comfort and durability.

Shown in size 6½” (16.5 cm) worn with ¾“ (2 cm) negative ease. Suggested 0–1½” (0–4 cm) negative ease.
