Let's Go for a Stroll

Discover the charm of our beautifully crafted pair of mittens featuring an intricate cable design elegantly centered on the back of the hand. These mittens not only provide warmth but also showcase your knitting skills with their stunning visual appeal. Perfect for keeping your hands cozy during chilly weather, they make a delightful addition to your winter wardrobe or a thoughtful handmade gift for loved ones.

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 18 stitches x 26 rows, equating to 4” x 4” / 10 cm x 10 cm in Double Moss Stitch when using the larger needle. This gauge is essential for ensuring that your mittens fit perfectly and maintain their shape.

Construction: Our mittens are skillfully knitted from the cuff up, providing a seamless finish and a snug fit. The thumb stitches are initially set up with waste yarn, allowing for easy adjustments. After completing the main part of the mitten, the thumb stitches are worked in the round, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic design. This construction technique allows for flexibility and a contemporary style.

Skills Required: This pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable working in the round. You will learn essential techniques such as making increases (m1) and decreases (ssk, k2tog) while mastering the art of cable stitching. Whether you're a seasoned knitter looking to refine your skills or a beginner wanting to expand your repertoire, this pattern includes both charted and written instructions for clarity.

For your yarn choice, the sample was knit using the now-discontinued Knit One Crochet Too Camelino. However, we’ve highlighted a perfect substitute yarn below to help you find the ideal material for your project. Dive into this engaging knitting project and create your own lovely pair of cable-knit mittens!
