Mulberry Mittens

These mittens will bring you back to the warm, sunny days of mulberry season. They incorporate cables that are reminiscent of mulberries and lots of ribbing for stretchy mittens. They are knit cuff-up, featuring a pretty cable that flows organically from the cuff. *Can't get enough of these cables?
