Meristem

Meristem presents a charming botanical motif featuring delicately sprouting leaves, perfect for knitting enthusiasts looking to infuse nature into their winter wardrobe. These beautifully designed mittens start with a ribbed cuff worked seamlessly in the round, creating a snug fit that effortlessly transitions into the artistic Meristem pattern on the back of the hand. Meanwhile, the inner wrist continues in ribbing for added comfort, ensuring that your hands stay warm without compromising on style.

The palm is crafted using soft stockinette stitch, providing a smooth texture that's pleasant to wear. To enhance functionality, a thoughtfully designed gusset is incorporated, allowing for extra fabric specifically for the thumb, tailored for both right and left hands. This attention to detail ensures that each mitten fits snugly and comfortably, catering to the natural movement of your hands.

The enchanting botanical motif gracefully continues down to the tips of the fingers. Here, expert stitch decrease techniques are employed, and the stitches are skillfully grafted together, resulting in a beautifully rounded mitten top. Whether you're knitting these for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Meristem mittens are a delightful addition to any knitting project. Explore the joy of knitting with this unique pattern and keep your hands warm in style this season!
