This is a good pattern for using up yarn scraps.

This pattern was written for the ”Click for Babies Period of Purple Crying Caps” organization, a group trying to educate new parents about normal baby crying and how to respond to it.

These simple, knit in the round, fingerless mitts are intended to celebrate the beauty of the yarn. They can be made in any length from wrist to elbow. They are identical and interchangeable, so no need to worry about mirroring the thumbs. A quick knit in worsted weight yarn, they would be a good first mitt for a new knitter.

I used a dark varigated red yarn so that wine dribbles wouldn’t show.

This wrap is very easy to knit. It goes fast because of the big needles. It is amazingly warm for being mostly holes.

Gauge is not a real factor since this is a lace wrap and size is partially determined by how hard it’s blocked.
