Mittens with Cables

Mittens with Cables

Well I guess it is that time of the year, when everyone are looking for those mittens. I had a custom order for mittens, but she liked my Fingerless with Cables. I figured someone else may want to make the same. I finally got around to write the pattern. It is pretty simple and could work well using other cables down the center back.

Multi Cables Ear Warmer or Cowl in Bulky weight yarn Pattern

Onion Dome Cable Hat Pattern

Been meaning to update some of my Cable Hat patterns. Yesterday I posted the Cables - Bulky Pattern, which is a great hat for someone just learning cables. It is in Bulky yarn on large needles and quick to work up. When I was a kid my dad gave me a wooden box from Russia it had colorful Onion Domes burned onto the top of the lid. Years ago I used that as inspiration for a hat in Aran weight. I was looking at the box the other day and thought the pattern would be perfect for Bulky weight yarn....
