Fingerless mitts featuring a twisted rib and cable motif that travels the length of each mitt from the cuff to the top edge. Pair them with the Eirys Hat for a complete look.

Notes
Each fingerless mitt is knit in the round from the wrist up. The thumb gusset is formed with m1L and m1R increases. Thumb stitches are then put on waste yarn and later worked in the round.
The cable and twisted rib motif is both charted and included in written instructions.
