Cabled fingerless mitts

MittsIntermediateAran / worsted

Fingerless mitts worked in the round, with a small cable on the back of the hand and a thumb gusset.

The mitts are worked from the wrist up. The thumb grows from a gusset: a triangle of increases that is put on hold and picked up at the end.

Both mitts are the same, only the order of back and palm changes: that is what puts the thumb on the correct side.
