Waltzing Mitts
No Dancing Princess would go to the ball with bare hands! These mitts feature an Estonian Double Waterlily Motif and eyelets for a very feminine design. A thumb gusset makes them as comfortable as they are pretty. They were designed as a companion to These Socks Were Made for Dancing. Thank you once again, Olga Jamovidova, for sharing this motif on Ravelry and in New Lace – Old Traditions!
Size: Women’s Small (Medium, Large) to fit a hand circumference of about 6-6 1⁄2 (7-7 1⁄2, 8-8 1⁄2) inches 15-16.5 (18-19, 20-23)cm. Note: This is a stretchy pattern. If your hand falls between sizes, consider knitting the smaller size.
Needles: One set of US #3 (3.25mm) double-pointed needles or size needed to obtain gauge. This pattern is easily adapted to Magic Loop or to knitting on two circulars; however, you may find it is easiest to knit the thumb on double- pointed needles.
Gauge: 6 1⁄2 sts/inch (2.5 cm) over stockinette stitch.
Yarn: Holiday Yarns Super Sheep DK, 100% Superwash Merino Wool, 260 yards (242m) to 4 oz (112g). One skein in Namaste. Any suitable DK wool or wool blend could be substituted.
