Decorative cables are usually found on the tops of mittens. I wondered what they would look like on the side of the mittens instead, and this pattern is the result of my curiosity. Made with bulky yarn, they’re sure to keep your hands warm while you’re working.

Since the cable is on the side, both mitts are identical and confusion is minimized when it comes to the gusset shaping. They’re made exactly the same way.

The sizes available are extra-small, small, medium, and large. It’s shown in size extra-small. The other sizes have not been knitted up yet--if there is any problem with the pattern in those sizes, please let me know and I’ll attempt to fix it.

Gauge:
6 stitches by 11 rows = 3 inches in stockinette
4 stitches by 8 rows = 2 inches in stockinette

Abbreviations used:
DPNs - Double Pointed Needles
K - Knit
P - Purl
M1 - Make one
C2B - Slip 2 stitches onto cable needle, hold in back; knit next 2 stitches then knit two stitches from cable needle.
C2F: Slip 2 stitches onto cable needle, hold in front; knit next 2 stitches then knit two stitches from cable needle.

Thanks and enjoy the pattern!
