These are the fingerless mitts featured in my book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 6: Martyr. In the book, Aya lends Keriah a pair of fingerless gloves since the room is so cold.

I had a stitch pattern in mind, but not a yarn to use, so it took me a little while to knit this. I eventually decided to use a yarn that isn’t anything like the yarns available in the Regency, but it’s such a pretty yarn I didn’t care!

The yarn is a Knit Picks Special Reserve yarn called Japanese Color Twist. However, you can use any worsted weight wool yarn. I think this would look especially pretty with Knit Picks Chroma Twist Worsted.

This pattern will use up one ball of Japanese Color Twist or Chroma Twist Worsted. However, if you lengthen the arm, you will need more than one ball.

You can customize the size by adding or subtracting lace repeats to make the circumference larger or smaller.
