DESCRIPTION

This fingerless mittens project is perfect for anyone who loves to knit cables!

The mittens are knit flat, featuring a 5 stitch cable with a bobbles design.

The thumb section is then knit in the round.

Yarn

1 x skein of any medium weight yarn (04)/Worsted/Aran/ 10 Ply 100g.

I used Cascade 220 Heathers (100% Peruvian Highland Wool 100g / 3.5oz / 220 yds/200 meters) in Fog Hatt- col.2442

Needles

4mm (US 6) Knitting needles.

4.5mm (US 7) Knitting needles.

4.5mm (US 7) 9” or 16” circular needles are needed for the thumb section.

I used my interchangeable circular needles on a 40cm/16″ cable.

I did not join in the round to knit the main section of the mitt.

I did join in the round to complete the thumb section and used the
magic loop technique.

You may want to use a smaller cable for this section if you have one.

Cable needle 4mm (US 6)/4.5mm (US 6.5) size.
