Both the worsted and chunky weight versions of the Steamboat Mitts are worked with the same number of stitches. The chunky weight mitts are knit with a smaller size needle than usual, creating a warm dense mitt. The mitts are knit in the round, from the cuff to the palm. The first 18 sts of ribbing becomes the cable panel. It is recommended to place these sts on one dpn, and divide the remaining sts onto two needles.
