Gordale Mitts

These stripey garter stitch mitts feature a slip stitch and cable pattern on the back of the hands. These are small canvas to try this fun technique on. 

The mitts use less than 40g of 4ply in the main colour and 25g of contrast even for the larger size, making them a great stash busting option too. You could the smaller size from the left overs from two pairs of medium socks, for example. It would be fun to see a solid and a variegated yarn combined too.

This pattern was originally published in The Knitter magazine.
