Cecily Mitts

Introducing our beautiful fingerless mittens, delicately knitted in an elegant lacy rib pattern inspired by the enchanting rambling roses and trailing clematis of an idyllic English country garden. These charming mittens are the perfect accessory for a delightful afternoon tea on the lawn or for unwinding with a refreshing glass of wine on the patio during those long, sunlit summer evenings. Named after Cecily, the whimsical character from Oscar Wilde’s renowned play, The Importance of Being Earnest, these mittens combine classic style with contemporary flair.

Crafted in various sizes, these lovely mittens can be expertly knitted using just one 50g ball of yarn, making them an ideal project for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. Each pair features an intricate design that not only adds a touch of warmth but also brings a sophisticated touch to any outfit.

This beloved knitting pattern was relaunched in June 2014 after a successful test knit, showcasing a stunning new series of photographs taken at the picturesque Half Moon Inn in Belchamp St Paul, north Essex. Embrace your inner artisan and bring a slice of English charm to your knitting collection with these delightful fingerless mittens.
