Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight, 100% merino wool
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 48 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method for a stretchy edge.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your stitches in the round, ensuring that they are not twisted. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Ribbing: Work in k2, p2 ribbing for 1 inch. This will create a snug cuff for your mitts.
4. Begin Lace Pattern:
   • Round 1: *K2, yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit two together), p2; repeat from * to end of round.
   • Round 2: Knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as they appear.

   Repeat these two rounds until the piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge.

5. Thumb Opening: On the next round, bind off 8 stitches for the thumb opening. Continue working in the lace pattern to the end of the round.
6. Recast for Thumb: On the following round, cast on 8 stitches over the bound-off stitches to create the thumb gusset. Continue in the lace pattern for another 2 inches.
7. Finish with Ribbing: After completing the lace section, finish with 1 inch of k2, p2 ribbing for the top of the mitts.
8. Bind Off: Bind off loosely to maintain the elasticity of the cuff.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends for a clean finish.
