Designed for warmth and comfort, Twirly Cable Mitts are an elegant and easy way to keep any teen or adult hand cozy during cooler months. Most of the mitt is k2, p2 for easy tv knitting. The 24 stitch, 24 row cable pattern is interesting but not too complicated - only 3/3 and 3/1 crosses on even rows. The cable pattern is both charted and written your knitting pleasure.

Due to the stretchy nature of k2, p2 ribbing, these mitts can fit a variety of hands, making them the perfect stealth knitting gift. No need to measure your recipient’s hand, just knit and gift - the ribbing will do the rest. Watch out, since they easily fit just about anybody, they might just disappear into someone else’s pockets. Teenagers notoriously steal pretty, comfy knits. You many find yourself making these again and again.
