Lace-Back Fingerless Gloves Using String Blossom
The Design
These little hand-warmers are the perfect project for learning about lace. Three different charts with varying degrees of difficulty can suit either your experience or your mood. (Shown here in Van Dyke Lace.) Whether you’d like sporty or feminine, these gloves are practical and pretty!
And they are an absolute pleasure in String Blossom—a heavenly half-and-half blend of cashmere and silk. This superbly smooth, high-twist sport-weight yarn is irresistibly touchable. You won’t be able to keep your hands off these gloves—or rather, keep these gloves off your hands!
