The Design
“A little lace, a little softness.”
These little hand-warmers are the perfect project for learning about lace. Three different charts with varying degrees of difficulty can suit either your experience or your mood. Whether you’d like sporty or feminine, these gloves are practical and pretty!
The Lace-Back Fingerless Gloves are an absolute pleasure to knit in Rowan , a wonderfully soft blend of merino and alpaca. Four-plied and DK-weight, Alpaca Soft DK is lightweight yet warm and bouncy—perfect for these lacy little mitts!
