Miss Potter Mittens

Unleash your creativity with these exquisite fingerless mittens, perfect for any Edwardian lady who loves to take her sketchbook and box of paints on the go. Whether you choose a solid or variegated yarn, these mittens can be crafted from a variety of materials, including cozy wool, luxurious silk, or any fabulous fiber that inspires you. Just as you please, dear Miss Potter!

The elegant design of these fingerless mittens beautifully accentuates the natural lines of the wrist and hand. The charming edging flares slightly with each picot, resembling tiny rosebuds, adding a romantic touch to your handwear. Not only do these mittens knit up quickly, making them a fantastic gift option for loved ones, but you also have the flexibility to customize their length. Opt for a longer wrist for a glamorous evening look, or shorten it for a chic, everyday style.

Any of the aforementioned yarns would be suitable for this pattern, and you will only need approximately one 50g ball to complete the project, with likely some lovely leftovers to spare! Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, you will find joy in creating these delightful mittens.

Note: This pattern is closely related to the one published in Yarn Forward, but it has been refined to eliminate any errata and includes some helpful simplifications. The provisional cast-on method has now been replaced with a more decorative picot cast-on, elevating your knitting experience.
