  • Waltz - Fingerless Mittens

    The Waltz Fingerless Mittens feature a sinuous, dancing pattern of slipped stitches on both the front and the palm. They were inspired by the swirling, intertwining lines of Art Nouveau design reminiscent of dancers moving and twirling on the dance floor.

    The Waltz Fingerless Mittens are worked from the cuff, starting with a two-color corrugated ribbing, transitioning into the pattern stitch which is worked in alternating rounds of color with slipped stitches. Gusset increases are worked for the thumb which is finished after completion of the hand. Hand and thumb are finished with matching ribbing.
