There is something about a highly textured Aran Knit. Is it the shadowing created by the moving and twisting of stitches against a smooth background? Or is it simply the movement itself? 

Cabling is a technique that involves moving knit stitches across an otherwise static background. The background of the Aran changes with each shape created, making an Aran project a textured feast.

Designed to co-ordinate with the Patchwork Butterfly Aran Cap, these richly textured mittens in a colourful yarn make for a warming gift for yourself or someone you love.
The palms and thumbs of these mittens are ribbed for both warmth and fit. The thumbs are offset also for a better fit.

Patchwork Mittens are charted only.
