Finally, I'm proud to announce that my new pattern, Christina, is available at the Chopped Tomatoes Etsy Store and Ravelry!

Although this pattern was designed and knit in less than a week, it has taken me a little over a month to finally write it up! Some patterns just refuse an easy birth!

PATTERN DESCRIPTION

Christina is a swanky opera-length glove pattern with a lush foliate design. The botanically-inspired lace panels gracefully hug the forearms, and later on bloom into a herbaceous border around the fingers. The gloves knit up quickly, using less than an average 100g sock yarn skein, and look lovely in both variegated and solid yarns! Knit yourself (or someone else!) a pair of leafy loveliness and wear the springtime all year round!

Gloves are knitted in the round, using 4 double pointed needles. Pattern includes step by step instructions and full colour photographs.
