Hither

If you're seeing this page, you've caught this pattern on one of the handful of days every year when it's available! It's going away shortly. Read on for more details.

A few years ago I got overwhelmed by my back catalog, retired most of my earlier work, and launched Tiny Nonsense. That gave me space to make Cool New Stuff! But some people missed the earlier things, so I make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year. If you're reading this, today is one of those days. If you've been missing this pattern, this is your chance to get it before it goes away again.

If you want to hear when the patterns make their occasional return (or see what else I'm up to), you can always do that at tinynonsense.com!

There's something about knitted leaves. They're more charming than they have any right to be, and they look impressive but are actually super easy to make. Charming and easy...that's pretty much what I'm looking for in my knitting! And these mitts totally fit the bill.

The leafy lace runs up your wrist, and splits around your thumb (who says you have to keep all the fancy bits on the back of your cuffs?), and joins back up at the top of your hand. The rest of the cuff, including the gorgeous mirrored thumb, is in lovely crisp ribbing (so it fits great and is easy to work).

The whole thing makes for the sort of mellow, meditative project that's fun to make and looks absolutely fabulous when you're done.

The mitt is written in three sizes (castons of 38, 42, and 46 stitches), so there’s an option to fit most anyone. And of course you should feel free to adjust your gauge a bit to fine tune the fit of the mitt. Just be sure that you’re working at a gauge that gives you a fabric you like with your chosen yarn!

I recommend working at something around 5, 6, or 7 stitches per inch, and I’ve included a table to help you figure out what gauge you’ll want to use for your size. With that range of sizes and gauges, the cuff will fit a wrist between 5.75 and 9.75 inches (with *lots* of points in between).

These are perfect for you if:
- You're as taken with knitted leaves as I am
- You want a mellow project that looks impressive when you're done

They're not for you if:
- You don't like charts (the pattern uses charts)
- You hate swatching (you need to swatch to check your needle size)
