Chimera Fingerless Mitts Pattern

Chimera: A fanciful mental illusion or fabrication.

 The Chimera Fingerless Mitts Pattern
$2.50

Test knitting was done, pattern corrected and now it's making it's debut!
I'm very excited to be able to offer this one.  It was a long time in the making and I loved every second of the design process.  It's got a little something for everyone, including cables, lace and a different pattern for both the top of the mitt and the palm. 

Top of the Mitt


The Palm of the mitt was designed with a horizontal garter stitch pattern.  This keeps the palm of the mitt snug, but very stretchy and allows for a comfortable fit for multiple sizes of hands.
