Pattern Description:

These gorgeous fingerless gloves spiral in opposite directions. They are simple and elegant, and they are fairly easy to knit. If you haven't tried lace in the round, this is a good place to start. Instructions are clear and concise with color photos included.

This is my best selling pattern and many have completed it with ease. If you want to knit them in a heavier yarn, try my Spiraling Leaves Mitts. They are written for dk to worsted weight yarn.
