Pattern Details

The mittens are knitted from the bottom up, starting from the cuff to the fingers, with cuffs knitted separately across. The cuff pattern involves cable crosses and purl rows, with a chain of crochet stitches unraveled and joined by a mattress stitch or loop-to-loop seam. The left and right mittens have mirrored cable patterns.

The pattern includes detailed instructions for thumb shaping, decreases for rounded or elongated mitten tips, and finishing techniques.

Care Instructions

When both mittens are ready, wash them using a special wool care product with lanolin, such as Hollywool, in cool water and dry on a flat surface. Use mitten blockers to give a neat appearance after drying.
