Gilded Cage Mitts

**Elegant Mitten Knitting Pattern: Embrace Your Creativity** In Mary Wollstonecraft’s groundbreaking 1792 publication, ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,’ she eloquently addressed the constraints imposed on women by societal expectations. Reflecting on this theme, she wrote, “Taught from infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.” Inspired by the notion of breaking free from these constraints, our elegant mittens feature a captivating slip stitch ‘cage’ pattern. These beautifully designed mittens are topped and tailed with a stunning Estonian braid, adding a touch of sophistication to your winter wardrobe. The twisted rib cuff not only offers a snug fit but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the mittens. Perfect for intermediate knitters looking to challenge themselves or for those wishing to create a thoughtful gift, this knitting pattern combines artistry with practicality.
