Zigzag Mitts

This pattern includes instructions to knit one pair of adult-sized fingerless mitts. The lace zigzag pattern is stylish, yet simple. The palm is worked in stockinette stitch for comfort. The thumb gusset is worked with the mitts and then moved to scrap yarn for finishing at the end. These mitts knit up quickly and make excellent gifts.

These are knit using DK weight yarn, which makes them ideal for transitional Fall/Spring weather. They are cozy, but the lace gives them a lighter feel. The pattern is defined enough to work well even with variegated yarns.
