Canary mitts
These bright yellow mitts have a bobbles and cables design on the top of the hand while the stockinette in the palm makes them comfortable to wear for daily use. The pattern is written. The bobbles and cables pattern is both charted and written out.
Skill level: intermediate.
Techniques: knit/purl in the round and flat, increase/decrease, cables, bobbles.
