"(This pattern) coordinates with the Merced socks," observes Patterson (they are available here). "Knitting these mitts is a great way to use up leftover sock yarn. Stitch pattern runs down either side of the hand, and shows off best when there's a bit of negative ease. Stitch instructions are both written and charted; pattern is written in three sizes. This is an intermediate pattern. Or, it might be easy. I thought it was easy, but there is a 3-stitch cross. You be the judge." Not only easy (we think), but elegant, and sinuous, and sophisticated.
