Hugs and Kisses OXO Cable Fingerless Mitts
This pattern features cozy mitts designed using two 50 gm/128 yard skeins of DK weight yarn. For my sample, I chose Mirasol Tupa, a luxurious 50/50 Merino Wool and Silk blend that provides both warmth and softness. While it’s possible to create these mitts with just 50 grams of yarn, my finished mitts weighed 26 grams each. To ensure you have enough yarn, I recommend purchasing two skeins to avoid running short. The gauge for this pattern is 12 stitches per 2 inches in stockinette stitch, and I utilized a US size 3 needle for optimal results.
The mitts are crafted entirely in the round, making them a seamless and smooth project. The pattern is specifically written for double-pointed needles (dpns), but you can easily adapt it for use with two circular needles or the magic loop method according to your preference. Included in the pattern are detailed charts and line-by-line instructions for the intricate cable pattern, ensuring an enjoyable knitting experience, even for those new to cables.
