Cabled Dad Mittens

These handsome mittens were inspired by my own father's desire for basic, yet classy cold weather gear. The pattern includes instructions to knit three unisex styles: classic mittens, fingerless mitts, and convertible gloves—choose your own adventure! Each style features a super easy cable pattern that coordinates perfectly with my Cabled Dad Hat design (available at Knitdarling.com). The project is a quick knit worked with worsted weight yarn, but on smaller needles which produces a dense fabric to keep your hands extra warm. Directions for three sizes are included along with tips for a custom fit. **FINISHED SIZE** 6.5 (8, 9.5)" wrist, 7 (8.5, 9.5)" palm **YARN** Worsted weight (#4 medium) Shown Here: Magpie Domestic Worsted 100% Domestic SW Merino Wool, Tupelo Honey, Casaway, Mesa, 100g: 200 yds; 1 skein ***Mitten Style:*** about 179 (235, 298) yards ***Fingerless Mitts Style:*** about 152 (193, 237) yards ***Convertible Gloves:*** about 213 (278, 356) yards **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** US size 5 (3.75 mm): Double pointed needle set Adjust needle size to obtain stitch gauge. **NOTIONS** Waste Yarn Yarn needle One stitch marker Ruler or tape measure Convertible Glove Style Only: two ¾" toggle buttons, needle and thread to sew button to glove, crochet hook to make button loop (approx size D3) **GAUGE** 22 sts and 32 rows = 4” in Chart A (B, C) pattern **PATTERN SUPPORT & UPDATES** Visit www.knitdarling.com/patterns/cabled-dad-mittens for more information about this design.
