The Prusik cabled fingerless mitts/gauntlets are part of a set comprising a hat, double-thickness cowl and fingerless mitts/gauntlets.

Yarn requirements:

  • 200-220 yards of fingering weight/4ply/sock yarn for mitts
  • 290-320 yards of fingering weight/4ply/sock yarn for gauntlets

Instructions are both charted and written and involve cabling and basic increases.

As well as two different lengths (mitts or guantlets), two different thumb types are included (plain or cabled). Images show the plain thumb on the shorter mitt and the cabled thumb on the longer gauntlet.
