These fingerless gloves are fairly easily knitted and feature a beautiful double cable design running along the back side of both hands with a plain palm side. This pattern is for a classic look standard size length pair of mittens but you can easily add an extra repeat of the cable pattern on the wrist for a longer mitt.
