A Mingled Yarn

This is a terrific project to introduce cables — practical and easy. There are 3 different cable patterns you can choose from ranging from the easy Wheatear Cable to the slightly more difficult ‘Braided’ cable and finally the larger ‘OXO’ Cable. The instructions for cabling are very clear and both the stitch pattern and a chart for each cable are provided.

The project requires only 150 - 175 yards, depending upon glove size, of worsted weight yarn, so it’s also a wonderful one skein project.

I confess I’ve been doing a ton of fingerless gloves (aka mitts) as gifts for friends and family this year. They are a change from scarves, offer a chance to get comfortable with double-pointed needles or the two-circular needle method of knitting small tubes.
