Very Cabley Mittens Pattern
Remember those mittens I was wearing in Denver?
Here’s the pattern!
I knit these mittens a couple of years ago, pre-blog, when I was on a big cable kick – I really wanted some cabley texture that wouldn’t be annoying to wear on the palm of my mitten. The tighter cabling and purls on the cuff draw the fabric in to keep the snow out.
This pattern calls for one skein of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted, but any heavy-ish worsted yarn should do. The mittens are knit tightly (using US 6 needles) for extra wind-battling power during those long, cold winters.
I’ve been finessing the top decreases over the past couple of days, so the mitten photo above isn’t 100% accurate. The pattern as written is most similar to the left mitten above – all of the decreasing issues in the right mitten have been fixed.
Yay for mittens!

Those mittens are awesome! Thanks for the pattern! Today was -20F (very unusual for us) so I definitely need warm mittens for this winter! Cables on mittens are great for wind protection. Yay!

Yesssss! I’m way into cables + mittens right now, so I’m all about these! I’m thinking they’d be way cute in the pink Beaverslide I have laying around here. Thanks for sharing, K!

thanks for sharing the pattern! It reminds me of a three-stitch zig-zag sock pattern I made, but with a cloverleaf instead of a cable. They were in pink too! These are very pretty indeed.

Hi,
Your Very Cabley Mitten pattern is just what I was looking for but I can’t seem to download the pattern. Could you email it directly to me? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

I’m having problems with the pattern. I can see it on my desktop, but I can’t print it out. I would like to carry this project with me on my next plane trip.
I just love the pattern. I am using suri merino. When we do the right glove thumb should the slot be at the end of the round opposite of the left mitten?
hi
these mittens look lovely, and I know a friend who will appreciate them! But, I can’t download the pattern, so please can I also request an email? katie.grosvenor@gmail.com
Many thanks
I just wanted to say that I love this pattern… Thank you, Thank you, Thank you… I still have the thumbs to do put I think it’s on my list of favorite patterns. They remind me of waves, my next pair will be blue… Take care
Ooops, just noticed. I typed my email address in wrong earlier (I only got it two days before that post). Sorry.

Please can you send me the email again, please please pretty please?
Thanks so much, katie
I made the mittens – love them!!! Now I would like to make a matching scarf. How would I alter the pattern to knit it on two needles versus in the round? Thanks!
