A ceilidh (pronounced Kaylee) is a traditional Gaelic social dance originating in Ireland and Scotland. In days gone by, there were ceilidhs in most town and village halls on Friday or Saturday nights. The cheerful and lively ceilidh music is provided by fiddles, flutes, tin whistles, accordions, and the bodhran drum.

The celtic patterning of the braid represents the continuum of life, love and faith, and the circle motif represents eternity.

Knit in the round with two contrasting worsted weight yarns, these celtic inspired mittens would be perfect to wear to a St. Patrick’s day ceilidh.

Errata: Stitch count in the gusset was wrong for the Right Mitten. It should read

Round 4: K3 CC, P1 MC, (K1 MC, K3 CC) around until last stitch, P1 MC
Round 5: K3 MC, P1 CC, (K1 CC, K3 MC) around until last stitch, P1 CC
