Sea Thrift Mitts
The Sea Thrift mitts are worked seamlessly, using methods found in Shetland lace construction, resulting in beautifully stretchy mitts that fit a range of hands.
Worked in garter stitch and garter stitch lace, they are made up of three components; cuff, body and edging. The cuff is consists of a strip of garter stitch lace worked flat and then grafted end-to-end to wrap around the wrist. Every right-side (RS) row of the cuff begins with a yarn-over, all of which are then picked up to form the body of the mitt. The body is worked in the round and, finally, the edging is made and joined to the body of the mitt at the same time; this is achieved by knitting the last stitch of each WS edging row together with the next live body stitch.
Designed to fit a small/ medium woman’s hand, however size is easily customizable; circumference can be altered by changing needle size and length by changing the number of rows worked before or after the thumb gusset.
Length: 19cm
Circumference : 21cm above thumb when gently stretched
