Product Details
The phrase “Hic Sunt Dracones” – “Here be dragons” dates back to a couple of early 16th century globes, which depicted dragons and sea monsters in uncharted areas. The mitt design was inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells. Small, dragon-like creatures hide in the knotwork of an otherwise classic cable design and add a little detail to the thumb.
A photo tutorial is included for the cuff, which starts with a Turkish cast-on, is worked flat and then grafted with Kitchener stitch to form a wristband. The hand is worked in the round after stitches have been picked up from the upper edge of the cuff. The pattern includes full written instructions as well as separate charts for both hands. It also includes information on how to adjust the measurements of the mitts by varying yarn weight and gauge (note that this will influence the yardage required).
