The perfect winter accessory for your Steampunk wardrobe, this hand muff is knit flat and seamed with an easy knitted joining. Two layers, a beautiful lace pattern outside and a cozy ribbed lining inside will keep your hands fashionably toasty. A heavy worsted lofty single ply yarn is recommended to really bring the frost flowers lace into high relief, but the pattern would be just as lovely in a multi-ply yarn.
