Lace Back Fingerless Gloves by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas

Craft: Knitting

These little hand-warmers are the perfect project for learning about lace. Designer Becky Fitch has included three different lace charts with varying degrees of difficulty to suit your experience, or your mood. Quick to knit, they make great gifts for feminine and sporty friends alike.

Lace patterns and charts appear in order of challenge:

• English Mesh Lace is perfect for new lace knitters, with its four+four-row repeat and easy-to-see centered stitch alignments. To make it even easier, omit the beading.
• Van Dyke Lace features centered eyelet arrows set off by two vertical lines of eyelets up each side.
• Rose Leaf Lace is just a little more complex, but after a repeat or two you’ll see its logic.
