Campfire Stories Mitts (Knit Pattern)

These mitts are designed to complement the Campfire Stories Hat. The thick, dense cables create a toasty and comfy fabric, perfect for warming your hands around a campfire. This pattern is charted and includes written instructions for both the right mitt and the left mitt.

fingerless mitts are worked in the round from the cuff up with twisted cables and fun little bobbles. A stretchy German twisted longtail cast-on is used, making these mitts fit a wide range of adult hand sizes, though the pattern is written in one size. The pattern is written using the Magic Loop method but DPNs can also be used. The pattern will direct you on how to distribute the stitches.
