The White Stag

One of the most beloved cable stitches, the Staghorn Cable Stitch, is known for its stacked v-shaped cables that give the look of deer antlers. Deceptively easy to knit, you'll use just two basic cable stitches. The rest of the body of The White Stag Mitt is classic stockinette, and the two cuffs are ribbed with K1P1 repeats. Thumb gusset instructions are specific to left and right mitts. This pattern has been tech-edited and test-knit. Sizes: Adult Female, Small: 6.5" (16.5 cm) circumference, unstretched. 9" (23 cm) length, unstretched. Adult Female Medium/Large: 8" (20 cm) circumference,unstretched. 10.25" (26 cm) length, unstretched. For a perfectly snug fit, your mitt's finished circumference should be about a half inch (1.25 cm) to full inch (2.5 cm) **less** than your hand circumference. Pattern calls for worsted weight yarn; I used one skein of Cascade 220. Notions: cable needle, stitch holder, stitch markers and yarn needle. I hope you enjoy this sweet pattern that I wrote while on vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina! Happy knitting!
