Täppid mitts
The Täppid Mitts are the sister pattern to the Täppid Hat. Lace isn’t typically used for this type of accessory, but Aleks loved the idea of blending lace with a winter staple. It brings another modern use to a classic lace stitch that both she and her grandmother Hilja loved. The mitts are knitted first using a DK-weight yarn from cuff to top. A lace panel in lace-weight yarn is knitted flat and attached to each side of the mitt while knitting.
