pattern row 4 is mislabeled as row 3; row 3 should NOT have any YOs, and is the same as rows 1, 5, and 6.

near the top of the mitt, just before the final 6 rnds of ribbing, there is a decrease rnd which contained one too many decreases. that rnd should read:
Next rnd: Work lace panel row 6 over needle one; on needle two, K1, K2tog, knit to end; on needle three, knit to 3 sts before end, K2tog, K1. [45 sts total]

  1. These are my favorite mitts of all you’ve done, Anne. I love the deep, rich color and I’m so glad you decided to leave the long cuff. It lends a perfect visual balance to the lovely lace. Maybe I’ll do these one day!

  2. I can’t make up my mind:) I like these too, and have some black Knitpicks Shimmer to make a pair of mitts to wear with my black wool winter coat.
