Another great pattern from Wandering Cat Yarns
Glinda
linda fingerIless mitts are an easy, quick lacy knit. Frilly and frothy, they at the perfect touch of femininity to any outfit. Solids and semi-solid yarns will let the lace shine, striping and multi-coloured yarns will create a wave pattern. Happy knitting,

Size:
To fit a hand approximately 7 inches around at widest point. The pattern is pretty stretchy, so don't be too worried about the small amount of cast on stitches. If you do need a larger or smaller size, adjust needle size and/or yarn weight.
Materials:
Approximately 150 yards of fingering weight yarn. Mitts pictured are knit in Wandering Cat Yarns Twinkle Cat. Colour is Pixie Dust. Set of 2.5mm double pointed needles Stitch holder Two stitch markers Tapestry needle Gauge: Approx . 32 stitches and 48 rows over four inches in pattern (Rows 1-3 below)
Abbreviations:
K= Knit P=Purl K2tog=Knit two together SSK= Slip 1, slip 1, then knit together YO= Yarn over PM= Place marker SM= Slip marker
Notes:
Pattern is knit in the round, beginning at the bottom of the cuff. In this pattern, the mitts are knit just to the knuckles, as I prefer them at a length that doesn't interfere when I wear rings. However, they can easily be knit longer to suit your taste - just remember to adjust your yardage.
