The Finger Lakes Fingerless Mitts are inspired by trips to the Finger Lakes region of New York. Two cables run up the back of the mitten hand to represent the largest Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake, and the twists within each cable represent the nine other Finger Lakes in the region.

This pattern is both written and charted.
