Moth Kisses
knitting pattern

These fine-gauge wristlets in two sizes (S/L) feature a flutter of pretty moth motifs accented with a single nupp. While light and frothy looking, these pretty cuffs create a nice layer at the end of a coat sleeve to keep the cold out. They also make excellent use of leftovers from larger lace projects for a sweet accessory to match a shawl or scarf gift.
