A matching hat and fingerless mitts by Faina Goberstein feature small twist cables framing tuck stitches for a wonderfully textured effect. The rusty reds of Kiri #9 give everything and autumnal feel. Tensioning your floats is key for this pattern: Knit loosely enough to keep the texture three-dimensional but not so tight that the fabric puckers. While slipping stitches behind a float, keep a finger on the float to manage your gauge.
