I was enchanted by some yarn I found from Handwerks, a delicious merino/cashmere/nylon blend that called to me in the Chokeberry colourway. My love of leaves and lace led me down the garden path to further inspiration from the Barberry, a delightful bush with short oval leaves.

These mitts are intermediate in difficulty, using two lace charts and a lace ribbing. The solid palm provides a little extra protection for your hands.
