This is a nice and easy pattern, relaxing to do after all the gift knitting and crocheting done for Christmas.

The yarn I’m using is a tad thinner, so I added five stitches to my starting chain.

--- Actually, it wouldn’t have been necessary. On the contrary, my gauge must be way off in the other direction. I only worked 17 ridges after the cable (in the upper part of the mitt, where the short rows are).
