Estonian Lace Fingerless Mitts Pattern

A pair of fingerless mitts, knitted in the round on double pointed needles using traditional Estonian lace stitch patterns.

The mitts feature lace patterned cuffs, stocking stitch palms and decorative bands, with a lace panel on the back of the hands (this can be omitted if preferred).

Knitted in a 4-ply yarn using basic lace stitches, this design is an ideal introduction to knitting gloves in the round and is suitable for an intermediate knitter. The lace pattern is both charted and written in full.

The pattern is written in one size, to fit an average adult female hand, measuring approximately 20 cm (8 inches) around the palm.  The finished size can be increased by using needles one or two sizes larger, or decreased by using needles one or two sizes smaller. Length from base of cuff to top of hand (adjustable): 19 cm (7.5 inches)

The samples were knitted in Cashmere Silk 4-ply in Lavender Rose and Soft Jade. Each pair used approximately 35g/140m. This yarn has now been discontinued - our recommended alternative is our Alpaca Silk Cashmere 4-ply, but the mitts can be knitted in many of our standard 4-ply yarns.
