Knit 2x2 ribbed mitts with a fold down top cuff and optional mock cable pattern on the back of the hand. Main color is used for the mitt - 90 grams and a contrast color - 20 grams is used for the ribbing on cuff and top of thumb.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Size: ladies average/medium
The length is roughly 10½” from bottom to top with cuff folded or around 12¾” to the top cuff unfolded and 3½” wide. The fabric is very stretchy and comfortably fits the average sized hand. You may add more or less stitches if desired just make sure you have the right number of stitches to complete your 2x2 rib and to adjust number of stitches you knit before starting cable pattern so that it is centered on the back of the hand. (I usually just go up or down a needle size to change the size and leave the stitch count the same.)

These mitts will have a similar fabric/tension of a sock that is knit on smaller needles with fingering weight yarn. If you have sock knitting experience just adjust the tension/needle size to what you are usually comfortable with.
