These mitts are knit from the cuff up with increases worked in purl for the thumb gore. The background is all purls and the pattern stitch is an easy faux cable eyelet pattern that doesn’t require a cable needle. An optional large eyelet made just before binding off adds a finger opening for the middle finger to help hold the mitts in place and keep your fingers extra toasty.
Beatrix Potter’s England
The young lady who drew and wrote stories of Peter Rabbit and his farmyard friends later married and became an activist for preserving the farmland of the Lake District of England. She bought up thousands of acres of land and raised Hardwick sheep on her working farms. After her death, her properties became part of the UK’s National Trust and the land today looks much as it does in Potter’s day.
