Sometimes you need a pair of lightweight fingerless mitts to keep away
the chill. These mitts feature the day flower lace and cable combination found in the Regina Marie shawl, with some additional cables at the wrist to keep the mitts well-fitted at this narrow point. The ribbed palm of these mitts lets them fit a range of sizes as well as preventing them from stretching too much and getting baggy due to the lace.

SIZES
S {L}, to fit circumference of palm at knuckles of approximately 5–6” {7–8”} (13–16 {18–20} cm)
Note: these mitts are designed with ribbing so that they will fit a range of sizes. The least yielding part is the cabled cuff, so make sure that it fits over your hand before continuing.

MATERIALS
Approximately 200 yds (183 m) of appropriate ngering-weight yarn
(Sample shown using 1 skein of Malabrigo Finito, colorway Chispas)
