Fingerless mitts with a short box-pleated cuff and corset-inspired cable pattern. Pictured longer, but instructions include mod for shorter style. Details include an optional Latvian braid, double-wrapped stitches in the cable pattern, and a gusseted thumb.

I just barely squeezed my first pair (longer option) out of one skein of Pura Bella Wool Silk DK (140 yards) with only a couple yards to spare.

Photos: First photo is mine in Mirasol Qina (alpaca/bamboo), and other 3 are from some of my test knitters.

Written with a yarn that calls itself DK, but is really closer to most worsted yarns. Works best in a thicker DK to worsted.
