You don’t have to be a goat herder to enjoy these warm mitts! Cabling on the back of the hand adds interest to an otherwise utilitarian accessory. The palms are done in stockinette stitch for a smooth grip. Two ribbed stitches in each pattern repeat offer a snug and comfortable fit for a variety of hand sizes.
