Pretty and practical. Adapted by Deborah Pulliam for Piecework magazine. Original pattern from Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 8.

This pretty pattern knits up quickly, and the mitts fit very well.

I made a pair of these in self striping yarn, and they really came out great.

Fingerless mitts, wristers, wristwarmers, muffatees. Whatever you call them, they’re pretty cool….

Circa 1860’s, very delicate lacy effect. Pattern as written calls for
very fine needles and yarn. Multicolored but can be made in single color as well.
