Elementary Mittens
These mittens are both simple and nifty, with their cabled thumbhole. They are crocheted in back loop only slip stitches. The cable is worked horizontally - a technique that I invented.
The pattern is intended as an introduction to horizontal cables. It has an extra extensive step-by-step picture tutorial for cabling, as well as tutorials for the back loop only slip stitch, short rows and invisible seaming.
skill level: easy to medium, depending on how familiar you are with slip stitch crochet
skills needed: how to make a chain
skills learned:
- back loop only slip stitch
- horizontal cables
- short rows
- invisible seam
yarn: about 40 g of fingering weight yarn
The model uses 31 g of Katia Darling which is a bit on the thick side of fingering.
hook: 4 mm (US size G)
also needed: darning needle for invisible seaming
The pattern is written in English.
Thanks to Kate, Kate, and Claudia for testing and proofreading!
