This is a pattern for a pair of short fingerless mitts. They measure approximately 4- 5 inches from your thumb up your arm. They feature cable stitch patterns on both sides of the mitts, with a ribbing center for shaping. Both the forearm and underside cable, feature many two stitch cables, giving them a unique look. The cables come to us from Canada and the creative mind of Annie Maloney.

The stitches are both charted and written out ‘line by line“. The mitts also have a thumb gusset to ensure the best fit, and allow you to type or text and keep warm at the same time. One size fits most, as a result of the lateral give, but there are tips for changing the size within each pattern. These mitts are made using two circular needles, and a heavy weight sock yarn.

They require under 1 skein of most socks yarns. The one pictured here was made with under one skein of Handmaiden/Fleece Artists Casbah yarn, in colorway, Lilac.

Skill Level: Intermediate, assuming good working knowledge of cabling.

The Mitts were expertly tested by ljs46
