Twisting ivy on a tree trunk; the beautiful shape of a snail’s shell. Vinda draws inspiration from serpentine forms and produces a striking pair of mitts. These are an engaging and satisfying project for intermediate knitters and up.

Both written and charted instructions are provided for this pattern.

A “Skipped Cable” version of the charts is provided that omits any overlapping cables between the front and back stitch sets when using Magic Loop, allowing for two at a time knitting. The green mitts pictured were knit with the Skipped Cable charts.
