Inspired by swirling frosty patterns on metal surfaces in winter, these mittens’ cuffs feature snug feeling cables combined with a soft yarn to keep you cosy and chic.

You’ll find this is a relaxing make overall with a few interesting details to keep you motivated.

It makes a wonderful gift, especially for someone whose hairstyle isn’t easy to wear in a classic winter hat.

If you do not have two cable needles try using one of the following: hairgrip, paperclip, locking stitch marker, safety pin, waste yarn.

If you don’t enjoy grafting and are happy to have a visible seam, simply cast off in pattern at the end of the headband and sew ends together.
