Modern cable wrist warmers/fingerless mittens.

If new to cable knitting, this may be a good introduction to the cable technique. The mittens are knit flat and have six columns of cables, with a cable twist every eighth row. The thumb hole is finished with a row of double crochet to neaten the edge (this is optional).

Pictured in main picture in soft Yak wool from Rowan, the sample has been knit on 3.75mm rather than 4mm
knitting needles to create a slightly smaller mitten.
