Acccented with a cable/lace motif, these mittens are a great way to try out a fairly complex cable/lace stitch pattern—working in rounds makes it easier to keep track of lace stitches on every pattern row. The motif is placed asymmetrically, opposite the thumb, and wraps around the outside of the hand.
