Strawberry Fluff Mitts or Mittens

Years ago, my kids discovered a delightful dessert made from fresh strawberries blended with velvety whipped cream, and that delicious pink hue always reminds me of that sweet treat. This knitting pattern features offset cables in a soft, squishy structure that you won't be able to resist squeezing! The thick cable puffs create cozy air pockets, ensuring your hands stay warm and toasty, whether you're outdoors in chilly weather or lounging at home. Included in this pattern are detailed instructions to create either fingerless mitts or full mittens, allowing you to choose the style that suits you best.

Sizes: Women's medium/large. The lovely cables are designed to be very stretchy, ensuring a comfortable fit for most hands.
