Cranford Mitts Pattern
The Cranford Mitts pattern has been kindly donated to the p/hop project by Jane Lithgow.
As the title suggests, the inspiration for this pattern came from the BBC adaptation of Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. Jane says, ‘This gentle drama, both humorous and touching took us into the lives of gentlewomen of certain age living in reduced circumstances. I noticed that many of their costumes included delicate mitts which they wore to ensure warm fingers in their draughty houses. I have adapted this idea to create some warm but delicately lacy mitts to take the edge off chilly spring mornings.’

Hi there, this is a swell pattern, but your download omits a yo on row 8 (they all must have two yo’s in order to keep the pattern right, and you only list one yo in row 8).
I spoke to a friend who did the cranford mitts a while back and she confirmed there should be 2nd yo on row 8, between psso and K3. I guess when this pdf was prepared for the php site there was a slight typo…
Cheers
