Mitts

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two long, greenish-gray crocheted items. The items are laid flat on a surface and appear to be a pair of fingerless gloves or mittens. They are made of a lacy, crocheted material with a repeating diamond pattern. The top of each item has a small, scalloped edge with two small gold-colored loops on either side. A small white tag is attached to the bottom of the left item. The background is a plain, off-white surface. The title of the image is "Mitts".
