Cozy Cable Mittens

These delightful knitted mittens showcase a stunning central “braided” cable pattern, beautifully framed by two left-twist cables on either side. The chunky gauge not only enhances the visual appeal of the cables but also provides them with a substantial body and a cozy, softened texture that’s perfect for chilly weather. Additionally, the mittens incorporate long cuffs designed specifically for extra wrist warmth, ensuring your hands are both stylish and snug.

For this project, I utilized size 9 double-pointed needles for crafting one mitten and transitioned to size 10 circular needles for the magic loop technique while creating the second mitten. I have noticed that I tend to knit more tightly when using the magic loop method; therefore, opting for size 10 needles yielded the same gauge as size 9 needles on the double-pointed needles. This clever adaptation guarantees consistency in your knitting projects and allows for greater comfort and fit.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this mitten pattern offers a delightful challenge that will enhance your skills while yielding warm, functional accessories. Perfect for gifting or personal use, these mittens will quickly become a favorite in your winter wardrobe.
