A simple cable can make all the difference in a pair of mitts. It adds extra thickness to keep the hands warm and it makes the mitts look interesting and nice. Ribbing will make the mitts even warmer and make sure they fit nicely around the hands. Belinda’s mitts will fit small children up to large adults, in a unisex design, so you can knit new mitts for the whole family.
