Scallop Cable Mitts

Discover the beauty of these densely cabled gloves, expertly designed to showcase hand-dyed yarns with stunning stitch definition. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, these fingerless mitts are crafted from the bottom cuff up and are knit seamlessly in the round, creating a smooth, polished finish.

**Special Skills Required:**

• Knitting in the round
• Increasing stitches
• Cable stitches

**Needles & Tools:**

You'll need US 5 (3.75 mm) double pointed needles— a set of 4 is recommended for a comfortable knitting experience. A cable needle is also helpful, but you might find that all cables consist of just 1/1 stitches, allowing for easy needle switching without a cable needle. For added convenience, a stitch marker and stitch counter are optional but can enhance your knitting process.

**Gauge:**

Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 10 stitches and 12 rows = 2 inches (5 cm) in stockinette stitch. This ensures that your mitts will turn out beautifully and fit just right.

**Yarn Recommendations:**

For this project, we recommend using Light Worsted Weight or DK yarn, with approximately 115 yards (100 meters) needed. Our featured yarn is Madelinetosh Tosh DK in the enchanting shade of Weathered Frame, perfect for making your mitts a stunning accessory.

**Size Information:**

Designed specifically for adults, the approximate finished measurements of the gloves are a length of 7.5 inches (19 cm) and a flat width of 3 inches (7.6 cm). Please note that the mitts may be larger in the thumb gusset area. The sample used for measurements was blocked, so unblocked mitts may differ slightly in size.

**Pattern Instructions:**

This pattern includes both charted and written instructions, accommodating different knitting preferences for a seamless crafting experience. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to level up your skills, these cabled fingerless mitts are the perfect project to showcase your creativity and talent.
