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.
