Procella
Discover the enchanting Procella slouchy hat and fingerless mitts set, inspired by a swirling and twisting lace pattern that beautifully captures the essence of delicate craftsmanship. This unique combination begins with a sturdy garter stitch band and cuff, meticulously worked flat while holding two strands of high-quality yarn together. This approach not only provides durability but also creates a strong foundation for the lightweight lace that follows, crafted with a single strand.
The intricate lace pattern of Procella is masterfully designed to be worked in the round, resulting in a stunning spiral of lace that gracefully adorns each piece. For those adventurous knitters who wish to add a personal touch, both right and left slanting stitch patterns are included, allowing you to create mitts that are perfect mirror images of each other. This thoughtful design adds versatility and charm to your handmade accessories.
Procella is part of the beautifully curated book Tempest, a collection of handknits designed by the talented Holli Yeoh exclusively for SweetGeorgia Yarns. This pattern is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire, ideal for both novice knitters looking to expand their skills and experienced crafters seeking an engaging project.
