The mitts are knit in the round from the cuff up. There’s a thumb gusset for a super comfy fit, and 1x1 ribbing on the palms to ensure maximum snugness. The thumb gusset sts are all K. Wear them at Halloween of course, but the Arachne Mitts are perfect for any time of year. Your spider friends will appreciate the shout-out and the recognition of all of their hard work! <i>The spider cable is not my original creation- it can be found in Barbara Walker's "Charted Knitting Design: A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns". There are many beautiful patterns on Ravelry that use this cable design!</i> **Sizes**: 1 (2, 3, 4); 6.25 (7.15, 8, 8.75)”/15.75 (17.75, 20, 22)cm around the palm, designed to be worn with 1-2"/ 2.5-5cm of negative ease. **Yarn:** Queen City Yarn Latta, or other sport weight yarn, approx 170 (200, 250) yards. \*\*Gauges: 28 stitches x 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette \*\* 28/ sts and 32 rows = 4” / 10cm in stockinette. **Needles:** US #4/ 3.5mm DPNS or circular long enough for Magic Loop—or sizes needed to obtain gauge. **Notions:** stitch markers, stitch holder, cable needle, yarn needle *Thank you to Chantal Vogel (chantiknit) for the German translation!*
