Sister Mine
Created for my sister Michelle based upon the wedding rings that her partner and herself exchanged at their weddings. Both bands are marked with a Celtic Infinity not which is created by the two col- umns of twisted stitch purl centre cables and the central cable represents the way in which two lives bend together through compromise and compassion. My sister is a wonderful person concerned with the well-being of the future of mankind and I could not think of a better yarn to represent this desire, and to fulfill her love of all things soft, than June Cashmere DK.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES
• Twisted Stitch ribbing keeps the mittens from stretching out of place
• A ribbed cable cast on and bind off creates a symmetrical clean finish to all edges
• Twisted stitch cables and micro cables combine to create a stretchy fabric which holds its shape after wearing
• There are two sizes for the thumb for each mitten, if you usually find gussets to tight use the bracketed instructions for a roomier fit
• When balling yarn I would recommend using a scale and separating it into two equal 25g balls
• Please note there may be a small gap on the thumb after picking up stitches, this can be closed when weaving in ends with no visible lines
One 50g skein of DK or Light worsted yarn should suffice!
