Celtic Cable Mitts
Introducing our beautifully designed fingerless mittens, a delightful blend of traditional Celtic influences and modern functionality. Partially inspired by my deep love for intricate cable patterns and my cherished roots in Nova Scotia, these mittens are a tribute to the rich heritage of Cape Breton. The region boasts a vibrant Celtic culture that seamlessly intertwines with the rest of the province, and this design captures that essence. Growing up as part of a Highland Dance group fueled my passion for all things related to cables and tartans, making these mittens a nostalgic reminder of my childhood.
The standout feature of these mittens is the stunning cable design, which adorns the back of the hand. This thoughtful placement ensures that the cables enhance the aesthetic without compromising the comfort or functionality of the mittens. We understand that knitters and computer users need freedom of movement, which is why these mittens have flat palms—perfect for wearing while knitting or typing away at your computer.
When choosing your size, we encourage you to be generous in your selection. Because the cable design can create a snugger fit, if you find yourself hovering between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to ensure you have adequate room for comfort and flexibility. If you prefer a tighter fit, you may find that sticking with your usual size works well, though do keep in mind that these mittens offer very little stretch beyond the sizes indicated.
These fingerless mittens are showcased in the stunning Knit Picks Hawthorne yarn, specifically in the Turkish Delight Kettle Dye colorway, which adds a unique flair to the overall design. Whether you’re crafting these mittens as a gift or treating yourself to a cozy and stylish accessory, this knitting pattern is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. Embrace the beauty of Celtic-inspired knitting and keep your hands warm while showcasing your love for intricate designs.
