Over here at fibre space HQ, we love a little lace. But lace, for obvious reasons, often gets left behind in the coldest months of winter. It turns out designs featuring holes are a little less toasty than we might like. Enter the Jamesville mitts! These mittens are absolutely perfect for the coldest depths of winter – they have two layers! Knit in Blue Sky Woolstok, the outer layer is sturdy, soft, and durable, featuring a cute lace design on the back of the hand. The inner lining is knit in solid stockinette, featuring a soft slice of luxury by incorporating an alpaca-based yarn, which will leave your hands feeling extra warm and cozy. With an easily memorizable chart, this project is definitely going to be a quick knit, joining your rotation of winter accessories in no time.
