Using an intuitive and easy all-over cable pattern, the Shawgrove mitts are great at keeping chilly winds at bay. The cables grow organically from the ribbing before they wind across the hand imitating structures found in tree bark. Shawgrove are knitted in the round using one skein of worsted-weight yarn.
