Cheshire is a lovely pair of warm mittens with an attractive cable twist pattern on the back of the hand, making this perfect for all your favorite people. Knit in Valley Yarns Berkshire, these mittens are worked in the round from the ribbed cuffs up and have gusset thumbs. Valley Yarns Berkshire is a delightfully squishy, superbly soft wool and alpaca blend spun into a single ply, which will keep your hands warm and cozy all winter long! The cable twist pattern is both charted and written out.
