Using two colors of Iron Horse Farm worsted weight Blueface Leicester/ Shetland, these mittens have corrugated ribbing which merges seamlessly into a slipped stitch pattern. The resulting fabric is surprisingly stretchy and has a wonderful depth and interest. The strong vertical lines with subtle horizontal lines resemble railroad tracks.

Finished Measurements:
Circumference (unstretched): 7.5 inches. Length: 10.5 inches.

The pattern includes a tutorial for the two color cable cast on method.
