Almy Cabled Mittens

**Note: Only one size of needles and yarn is required: US Size 6 for worsted weight yarn, and US Size 5 for DK weight yarn.** **Pattern Overview:** These beautifully crafted mittens are designed to be worked in the round from the bottom up. The back of each mitten features a stunning, unique cabled motif that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your winter wardrobe. **Yarn and Fit Options:** You can choose to use either worsted weight or DK weight yarn for this project. When using worsted weight yarn, the mittens will fit a ladies’ medium-large or mens’ small-medium hand. If you opt for DK weight yarn, these mittens will be a perfect fit for a ladies’ small hand. Originally, the design for these mittens was commissioned by the Our Back 40 yarn company under the name “Cabled City Mittens.” Please note that this pattern is available exclusively as a kit when purchased with Our Back 40 yarn. While the Almy Cabled Mittens and Cabled City Mittens patterns share similar designs, they differ in that the non-cabled sections are knitted in the former and purled in the latter. **Skill Level and Techniques:** **Difficulty: Intermediate.** This pattern requires a solid understanding of several knitting techniques, including working in the round on double-pointed needles, reading a knitting chart, executing cable stitches, performing decreases, and picking up stitches. This makes it a great project for knitters looking to advance their skills and create beautiful, functional winter accessories. **Get Started!** If you’re ready to create your own stunning pair of mittens, grab your needles, yarn, and the pattern! Enjoy the satisfaction of crafting these fashionable and warm accessories that are perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself. Whether you're an experienced knitter or someone looking to gather new skills, these mittens will surely become a winter staple in your collection.
