JANET MITTENS
JANET MITTENS
The Janet Mittens will not only warm your hands on cold days, but also complement your unbeatable winter style. You can knit them in your favorite season color.
Even while you are knitting them, you will experience the pleasure of seeing how the cables turn into beautiful hearts.
These mittens are knit from the bottom up. They fit the hands nicely without being tight. Thus, they provide freedom of movement and at the same time keep your hands warm.
The cables spread over the entire top of the mittens, starting at the cuff, and ending at the fingertips. The cuff is not large and quickly draws the attention to the cable curves.
The cable pattern is easy to knit, and the smooth stockinette on the palm keeps functionality intact.
They can be worked either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.
