I give you the Merletto mitts!
Stats:
Pattern: Merletto Mitts
Designer: Me!
Yarn: Any sock yarn (I used less than one ball of Knit Picks Gloss)
Needles: US 2/2.75mm
These fingerless mitts were initially a gift for my friend Jolene last Christmas. I made up the pattern by combining a simple cable with some lace details. Put it all together and the Merletto Mitts were born.
This was such a fun pattern to design! I also had lots of great help too! I have to thank Sarah, and Stacey for test knitting and Jolene for helping edit the pattern.
Those of you on Ravelry - you can download the pattern for free with this link:

Enjoy!

As usual, you ROCK.
I LOVE this pattern.
You know, I should cast on a pair for myself, I gifted away the two pairs I test knit before...
Agree 1000% with Ms. Sarah - you rock!!!! I have been wearing these a lot recently, and am taking them with me this weekend to the trial!
I can't wait!! Both to knit these and for MDSW
These are really lovely!! Great job! :-)

They are beautiful - thank you so much for the pattern!
What beautiful mitts! I'll have to make some once I'm no longer "with quilt" ;).
THANK YOU so much for sharing this pattern with us!!! I've been waiting patiently for it to become available. ;-) I know what I'm casting on this afternoon even though I already have way too many projects going. But what the heck, it's my birthday and I'll knit if I want to! LOL
What a cute pattern! Thanks for sharing it with us. I've queued it on my Ravelry account and look forward to knitting it up.
See you at the Cloverhill Booth on May 3!

Long time reader, first time commenter...

DK :)
What a beautiful design! Thanks for sharing the pattern. I gave away all my fetchings...think I'll knit a pair of these for me!
Great pattern. I have a spare ball of Anny Blatt angora stuff I wanted to knit some fingerless mitts with so your pattern is perfectly timed.
How awesome are you! Those are lovely!
Gorgeous! Off to add it to my Rav queue!
Love the pattern!! So beautiful!!
What a beautiful pattern. I've already added the pattern to my rav library. Thank you for sharing it for free!
Yay, it's up! Gorgeous pattern!
Such a great pattern! and I got to try it on :) yea! I will add it to my queue, mos def!
Jody you're AMAZING. Amazingly talented and amazingly generous.
That looks lovely! I am going to make it one of these days.
Thanks for the beautiful pattern! You are so generous. I saw your link thru Sknitty and now I know about another cool blog!
ooh so pretty!
looking forward to seeing you at MDSW!
These are lovely, and I'm greatly enjoying knitting it up. A couple of questions:
- is there a reason for the Sl1, K1, psso rather than an SSK decrease?
- do you cast any stitches on after putting 20 stitches on the scrap yarn for the thumb, or just work the 56 stitches remaining around for the rest of the hand?
And some more detailed feedback:
I love the way the lace and cables interact, the rhythm of this knitting keeps you going and going and going :-) it's a very effective pattern without being overly complex -- all the variations I can think for it (I suffer badly from no-two-the-same syndrome, grin!) are more complex.
I don't have a Ravelry account - I tried downloading the file from the other link. I have to wait 20 seconds, then the box says "Download" - but when I try to download, I get a "cannot load" or "cannot download" error page.
These are beautiful! But I can't get the pattern download to work.
Is there a way that you can just post the pattern?
Thanks for the lovely pattern. I have just made two pair!
This is a wonderful pattern - I have made 2 already!! Thank you for sharing it. I just put photos of one of them on my Ravelry : cjpiano. I'll get pics of the other set this weekend. Thanks again.
