A wonderful holiday gift for the girly-girl on your list, these fingerless mitts are a weekend project that looks like you slaved for weeks to create them.

The worsted weight Artyarns Merino 8 becomes a dense and warm fabric when worked on US Size 5 needles. A picot bind-off and lace cuff are feminine details that are further enhanced by the knitted and appliqued flowers that embellish the back of the hand.

Leaves shown in IK are made from seamed wired-edge ribbon, but knitted leaves are an additional option for which charts are included in the pattern.
