These mittens are knit with aran weight yarn on circular needles using magic loop method from cuff up to the tip, but you can also use double-pointed needles if you are more comfortable with them.

They feature an intuitive and easy to memorise cabling pattern resembling a braid on the front and a thumb shifted slightly inwards that allows for a better fit.

The mittens will fit S/M size of an average woman’s hand of 16.5-18 cm/ 6.5 - 7 inches in diameter.
