On cool, in-between days, a fetching pair of fingerless mitts is just the thing to keep your hands nice and warm while adding a splash of style to a cute outfit. Inspired by the European rowan tree which has been a part of Celtic fairytales and legends for centuries, these mitts feature a lace panel of interlocking leaves and twisted stitches. ...

This leaf pattern is easy to memorize and straightforward in its design. Because it is lace, it will accommodate a variety of foot widths. You can adjust the size of the pattern by going up or down a size in needles and using a heavier or lighter yarn. Enjoy!

This pattern creates a nice and stretchy ribbed sock with a sweet little twist stitch to add a little extra interest. They would be a great first sock project (or 20th sock project for that matter). They knit up quickly and the twists keep you on your toes. For a cute look, work the cuff, heel and toe in a contrasting color!
