Narsissi

A few days ago, I published my first knitting pattern of 2017 : Narsissi…

Narsissi is a lovely pair of delicate and feminine fingerless mittens that I imagined for a magazine. Sadly, they didn’t choose it. As it kept lingering in my mind, I decided to publish it on my own !

When I thought about those mittens, I pictured myself walking in the woods, picking daffodils or enjoying a hot cup of tea outside on a misty morning or a quiet evening… But let’s be honest : I wear them mostly when I walk Capucine to school… It certainly is less romantic and poetic, but htey serve really well their purpose : keeping my hands warm and, bonus, I love the lace pattern…

When I created this pattern, I wanted practical fingerless mitts, but very feminine nonetheless. that’s why, to accomodate a single stockinette hand, I decided to cover the forearm with a floral lace pattern and to add a picot edge for even more feminity !

Regarding the yarn, I chose a light and fluffy, but still rustic, yarn, with lots and lots of lovely colors (you cannot not find something you like) : Loft from Brooklyn Tweed (shown here in Postcard). I’m already planning another pair in Camper maybe…

I also swatched in Ulysse from De Rerum Natura and this yarn will be perfect too ! The lace will be a bit more thick than with Loft, but you will get a nice pair of sweet fluffy mitts…

A big thank you to all my test-knitters (you can find their version on Ravelry) and to my kind tech-editor…
