Gabla Mitts

Discover how to knit a quick and easy pair of chunky, warm, and stylish fingerless mitts that are perfect for layering in cooler weather. This engaging knitting pattern features a stunning cable plait that is knit flat, which you can either seam together or graft into a perfect circle, allowing for a seamless finish. After completing the plait, stitches are expertly picked up from the bottom, and the cozy cuff is knit in the round for added comfort.

There are three needle size options provided in this pattern, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. It's essential to choose the right needle size based on your hand measurements! Measure around the knuckles, excluding the thumb, to select your size: the 8mm/US 11 needles cater to Ladies Small (7"), the 9mm/US 13 needles are designed for Ladies Medium (7.5"), and the 10mm/US 15 needles are ideal for Ladies Large (8"). Keep in mind that the row gauge for the Small size should be approximately 12 rows to 4" to guide your plait sizing accurately when using these specific needles.

To execute the beautiful cable design flawlessly, you will also need a cable needle, which is essential for creating the intricate plait. These fingerless mitts are not only practical for keeping your hands warm while allowing for full dexterity but they also make excellent gifts for family and friends.
