A delicate stitch pattern adorns these very pretty fingerless mitts. A modified Persian lace runs the length of the mitts and is balanced out by a reverse stocking. The pattern pays homage to the flavours of the Scullery Made tea that bears the same name; citrus, cinnamon, cloves and calendula. These mitts are for wrapping around a good cup of tea and embracing nature.

Construction:
These mitts are knit in the round beginning with a 2 x2 ribbed cuff. A modified Persian lace is borne out of the ribbing and runs the length of the mitts - it is balanced out by a reverse stocking stitch base. The circular motif of the stitch pattern is repeated on the thumb gusset.

Pattern includes both charts and written instructions for the hand lace pattern and thumb gusset shaping and lace pattern.
