This is my first written pattern, so feedback is much appreciated! Thank you!

I originally made these for a friend who wanted to show off her Jamberry nails while still keeping her hands warm! Hence, the name.

These fingerless mittens have a simple & elegant twisted cable, with 2x2 ribbing all around the mitten, & accented with a strap and button on the wrist. One size fits most (women).

This pattern is for a beginner-intermediate level knitter.

Materials Used:

Worsted Weight Yarn, I used Red Heart Soft, in Grape (to match the Jamberry color!), but most Worsted Weight Yarns will work. Just check your gauge :) I got two pairs of mittens from one skein.
Size US 8/ 5 mm DPN’s
Optional Size US 8/ 5mm, 24 in. (at least) circular needles if using magic loop method OR size needed to obtain gauge.
Cable needle or another DPN.
2 Buttons (3/4 in.)
tapestry needle
scrap yarn or stitch holder
stitch markers, if desired (I just use my yarn tail as a guide)

Abbreviations and Techniques Used:

K (Knit)
P (Purl)
CO (Cast On)
BO (Bind Off)
C6F (Cable 6 Front)
SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit)
K2Tog (Knit 2 Together)
Bind Off in Pattern
Magic Loop Method (Optional)
DPNs (Double Pointed Needles)
K tbl (Knit Through Back Loop)
P tbl (Purl Through Back Loop)
M1 (Make 1 Increase)
For my M1’s I used these mirrored increases: KLL & KRL

Ending measurements: 6” in length.
The continuous ribbing helps these gloves to fit most women’s hands, however, you can easily adjust the width by the number of stitches cast on, in multiples of 4. When adding or subtracting stitches, remember to always keep a ribbed column between the thumb gusset and the cable. Add or subtract the stitches outside the area between the gusset and cable.
