Twig Mittens

Discover the allure of the Twig mittens, featuring a timeless cable design that combines both elegance and functionality. These cozy mittens showcase a folded-hem wristband, expertly crafted for added warmth, while a thoughtful thumb gusset ensures that perfect fit you've been hoping for. This knitting pattern is designed to be worked from the wristband to the fingertips (in a bottom-up approach), providing an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience.

To begin, you'll utilize a provisional cast on, allowing you to knit a ribbed wristband that is twice the length required for ultimate comfort. Once you complete this ribbed section, the cast-on will be expertly unzipped, enabling you to fold the wristband inward and join it with the last round—this creates the beautiful "folded hem," offering a wristband with two delightful layers for added coziness. After finishing this key element, you will transition into the stunning cable-stitch pattern, which adds a touch of sophistication to your mittens.

As you progress, you will seamlessly decrease stitches to close off the mitten in style, utilizing your tail to secure the finish. Plus, the design includes mirrored cables for both left and right mittens, ensuring that they are perfectly symmetrical and stylish. Whether you're a beginner eager to explore cable knitting or an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge, these Twig mittens are the perfect project to elevate your knitting skills.
