What could be more fun than a cable with eyelets and bobbles? How ‘bout a cable that reminds you of a bumble bee in flight? Enter BUMBLE, the best fun you can have with under 60 g of worsted weight yarn. These engaging fingerless mitts work up in a trice and make a great stashbuster. BUMBLE features a fully fashioned thumb gusset, stockinette palm and ribbed edges. Make a pair on the weekend and add a second pair as a gift!
