Kando Cabled Fingerless Mitts
Discover the perfect pattern for cozy and stylish fingerless mitts! Measuring approximately 4-5 inches from your thumb up your arm, these mitts feature intricate cable stitch patterns on both sides, complemented by a ribbed center for optimal shaping and comfort. Designed for multifunctional use, the thumb gusset ensures a snug fit, making it easier than ever to type, text, or knit while keeping your hands warm against the chill. With a universal one-size-fits-most design, thanks to their lateral stretch, this pattern also includes helpful tips for adjusting the size to suit your needs.
To create these beautiful mitts, you will need two circular needles and a heavy weight sock yarn. This pattern requires under 1 skein of most heavy sock yarns, making it an economical choice for your next project. The mitts shown in the image were crafted with less than one skein of Handmaiden/Fleece Artists Casbah yarn in the stunning colorway "Nova Scotia," resulting in the softest mitts imaginable. However, feel free to explore any heavy fingering weight yarn to bring your own unique style to this pattern. An exquisite focal stitch, inspired by traditional Japanese designs, adds a touch of elegance to the finished product.
