About

These mitts offer a variety of techniques to keep you interested: ribbing, short-rows, biased knitting, cables. The wrist features a slanted garter stitch formed by decreases along the inner edge of arm, which are offset by increases that are then incorporated into the cable pattern. The thumb gusset is created by continuing to work those increases but ceasing the decreases.
