Greenwitch
Inspired by the enchanting Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper, this exquisite lace cuffed glove design draws upon the mysterious and murky depths of the Cornish coastline, where the legendary Greenwitch resides. The elegant cuff of the gloves is knit back-and-forth, then stitches are picked up along the side edge for the hand, which is crafted in-the-round on circular needles using the magic loop technique. The back of the hand features a captivating textured lace, while the generous thumb increase utilizes a slipped stitch technique that creates a beautiful crossed mesh appearance. The fingers and thumb are left tipless, providing flexibility and breathability for various activities.
This advanced knitting pattern is designed for experienced knitters looking to challenge their skills. Both written instructions and charted diagrams are included to enhance your knitting experience.
The stunning colourway, Jormungandr, was exclusively commissioned for OneHandKnits and is available in limited quantity at the Fibre East festival of wool, taking place on Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15, 2012.
