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 who gets cold hands while carrying out tasks that require the dexterity of bare fingers.
