Product Details

These mittens will keep your hands warm no matter how low the mercury drops. Chunky yarn combined with the thick-knit cable pattern produces a cosy, durable mitten that knits up quickly.

Matching hat available.

The mittens are knitted entirely in the round with a simple-to-work cable pattern that is both written and charted. You can use dpns throughout, or if you prefer, use a 5.5mm circular needle and the magic loop technique for the currs and a 6.0mm circular needle for the hand. You will needs 6.0mm dpns for the thumb due to the small number of stitches.
