Catelyn Stark is the name I’ve borrowed from Game of Thrones. I’ve been a superfan of that show ever since it started. If you have not watched the show, here is some background information about the character I’ve named this fingerless mittens after: Catelyn Stark is a fictional character in the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

This pattern is designed to have the basket weave pattern on the top of the hands and the 1x1 rib on the bottom (palms).
