Introducing our stunning Cable Mitts pattern, where elegant cables take center stage! These cozy mitts are not just quick to knit but are also perfect for keeping your hands warm on chilly office days. Crafted in the round from the bottom up, this pattern makes full use of a single skein of luxurious yarn, allowing you to create a beautiful accessory without the need for multiple materials.
SIZES
To Fit Hand Sizes: 7 - 9” / 18 - 23 cm. The inherent stretch of these mitts ensures a comfortable fit, making them suitable for a wide range of hand sizes.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Hand Circumference: 8” / 20.5 cm. These mitts are modeled with 0” / 0 cm ease for a snug yet comfortable wear.
YARN
For this project, we recommend using Stolen Stitches ‘Nua Worsted’ (a delightful blend of 60% Merino, 20% Yak, and 20% Linen). Each skein boasts 109 yds / 100 m per 1.76 oz / 50 g, and the recommended color for this pattern is Bare Necessities (9914). You will only need 1 skein, which is approximately 109 yds / 100 m of yarn.
NEEDLES & NOTIONS
To create these mitts, you will need US size 6 / 4 mm circular needles (32” / 80 cm long or longer) for the magic loop technique, or US size 6 / 4 mm double-pointed needles (dpns). It’s important to always use a needle size that gives you the gauge listed, as every knitter’s gauge can vary. You’ll also need waste yarn, 4 markers, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle to complete your project successfully.
GAUGE
To ensure the best fit and finish, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch (St St) when blocked. The 16-stitch cable panel measures 2” / 5 cm wide, adding that intricate detail that sets this pattern apart.
Perfect for experienced knitters and adventurous beginners, these Cable Mitts are not just a practical accessory; they’re a delightful project that showcases your knitting skills.
