Open a Gate

The sky’s the limit! Don’t let a gate limit you. Open a gate and go, find new ways, knowledge, creativity! The mitts are worked in rib and cable pattern which makes them stretchy and ensures a snug fit for most hands. The simple to work 4x4 cable is made interesting and unusual by adding elongated stitches and strategically placed purl stitches. The cable pattern is charted and written. Separate instructions are given for the right hand, left hand and thumbs. Directions for three sizes are given. A natural fiber (merino, alpaca, lamb’s wool, etc.) yarn should be used, that will keep its shape. The sample was knit in Cascade Yarns Heritage, colourway Italian Plum, 33 g / 1.17 oz.
