***This is a PDF PATTERN, not the actual mitts. If you want some mitts, convo me and commission a pair.***
The elegance and intricacy of cables without the work! If you can knit in the round, increase, decrease, knit, and purl, you can make these mitts.
With a gusset thumb, they come off the needles ready to wear. Strategic increases and decreases form the curves as well as the slight slant at the top and bottom.
The garter stitch rib has a lot of give, so don’t worry too much about the gauge. If you’re in the ballpark with the needle size and a worsted weight yarn, these should fit. The pattern calls for Hobby Lobby I Love This Wool, but any worsted weight yarn will do.
This pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
