Red apples still hanging on a snowy tree — an amazing but rare sight. Almost as rare as beaded lace-weight mittens. The lace only forms the pretty outer layer — thick inner mittens are under them to keep the wearer’s hands warm. The outer lacy mittens can be taken off to save them from the harsher impacts of winter, e.g., if you fancy a snow battle.

The mittens can be made in four sizes according to the pattern: S, M, L, and XL. The thumb gusset is worked using the Life Line method. All this assures a very comfortable fit. Use lace weight yarn for the outer mitten, and bulky yarn, or worsted weight yarn held double, for the inner mittens.

For information about sizes, measurements and yarn requirements please check the second page of the pattern located among the photos on the left.

Winter Apples is the second out of three patterns from the Lace Mittens for Snow Battle e-book.
