It’s fascinating to watch water ripple. Here’s your chance to wear that fascination in a quick, easy, lacey fingerless mitt. Choose a sparkling yarn and get the full effect!

This mitt starts at the bottom and is knit in the round up to the thumb slit. Rows are then knit flat for approximately 2.5 inches. Knitting in the round is then resumed. There is no need to differentiate between hands since the mitts are reversible. You can even wear with ripples going up or down.
