The Mylena mitts combine the softness of a cosy accessory with the elegance of a delicate lace pattern.

Whether you knit them for yourself or as a gift, they dress up your hands beautifully and keep them warm, without restricting your movement.

The Mylena mitts feature a delicate lace pattern running along the back of the hand, while the palm is worked in stockinette for a comfortable result that’s easy to wear every day.

The pattern has just enough detail to keep your knitting interesting, while letting the lace truly shine once the mitts are finished.

Designed to keep your hands warm while leaving your fingers free, the Mylena mitts look just as lovely on their own as paired with the Myria scarf, created with the same lace pattern.
