Helter Skelter mitts are worked from the bottom up, featuring a 2x2 rib cuff and a fully worked thumb gusset. The pattern is a repeating 5-st cable pattern, worked without a cable needle (if you prefer). The result is a helical pattern of stitches that runs across the back of the hand and across the palm.

The mitts are designed to be short, stopping just after the knuckles, because I like to use them when my office is chilly, and they let me type without restrictions while keeping my hands toasty! If you want to work the hand or cuff longer, please feel free to adapt the pattern to suit you.
