This is a pattern for fingerless mitts. They can be knit with or without beads. They measure approximately 4- 5 inches from your thumb up your arm. They feature cable stitch patterns on both sides of the mitts, with a ribbing on the underside. The mitts also have a thumb gusset to ensure the best fit, and allow you to type, text or knit and keep warm at the same time. One size fits most, as a result of the lateral give, but there are tips for changing the size within each pattern. There are also tips for knitting in the beads. These mitts are made using two circular needles, and a heavy weight sock yarn.

The pattern is both charted and written and includes bead placement in the chart, which you are free to change, of course.

They require under 1 skein of most heavy socks yarns. The one pictured here was made with under one skein of Handmaiden/Fleece Artists Casbah yarn, in colorway, Wine. There is also a picture of a plain one in Handmaiden’s Casbah in colorway, Ocean.

The cable to comes to us from Canada and the creative mind of Annie Maloney.

Skill Level: Intermediate, assuming good working knowledge of cabling. This pattern is charted ONLY.

The Mitts were expertly tested by lsj46.
