These lacy leaves fingerless gloves are fun to knit up and beautiful on hands!

Instructions are written, the lace pattern is both written and charted.

The leaves run along the top of the hand, the palm is knit in stockinette.

The mittens are knitted in the round, a small part is worked flat to create the thumb hole, they are completely seamless.

Skill level: intermediate.

Techniques: knit/purl in the round and flat, lace, picking up stitches.

Yarn: 50 grams of any fingering weight yarn. The sample was made in Katia Sweet Baby yarn. But any sock yarn will work fine too. I suggest using a solid color to show off the stitch definition.
