Started yet another project where I re-create something from a photo.
My friend sent me this link to Etsy shop asking if I can make these Mitts for her… The last, light picture.
I would love to knit these mitts with soft wool yarn, but my friend is allergic to wool. And even in acrylic yarn they look awesome. Our winters are pretty mild, so they should work for my friend.
I might make them for myself as well, as they are so cute!

I charted a cuff, and knitted a few samples on DPNs, using different casts-on. Finally, I came up with something that might just work!

My friend asked for a short video on how to knit this cable. In no way this simple video I could call my video a tutorial but rather a sample of how to knit this cable.
