The Plummy Mitts are a perfect match for SpaceCadet’s Lyra yarn, a round, bouncy sportweight that cables like a dream. The mitts knits up quickly using less than one skein, and the cablework will keep you entertained from beginning to end. Three sizes are provided for optimal fit, and the cables are mirrored on the backs and palms of both mitts, making them interchangeable. Pair them with the Plummy Cowl for a matching set!

This pattern contains both fully charted and written instructions.
