Christening mitts

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Christening mitts by an unknown artist are two off-white, antique, hand-crocheted baby items. They resemble mittens with extended cuffs. Both have intricate lace details at the top and bottom. The top parts have elaborate crochet patterns. The cuffs are made of a lighter, vertically striped fabric. One item has a pin attached. They are displayed against a plain gray background.
