Spring has finally sprung!
Inspired by blossoms these pretty handwarmers are great for any time of the year and a lovely way to practise cabling.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS

Take time to check your tension and adjust the needle
size accordingly to ensure an accurate finish.

PATTERN NOTES
It’s helpful to place a stitch marker either side of the 11- stitch Spring Bloom panel to keep track of where it is.
Take care not to cast off too tightly – use a larger needle
to cast off with if you’re worried about this.
I managed to squeeze two pairs of mitts from one skein
of yarn, but it was a close call! If you are planning to do
the same, then weigh the remaining yarn after
completing the first pair of mitts – if you have less than
50g of yarn remaining then reduce the cuff length by a
few centimetres to ensure you have enough to finish. It’s
also important to check your tension as this will affect the
amount of yarn required.
