Helter Skelter Mitts - Cat & Sparrow UK

Helter Skelter mitts are worked from the bottom up‭, ‬featuring a 2x2‭ ‬rib cuff and a fully worked thumb gusset‭. ‬The pattern is a repeating 5-st cable pattern‭, ‬worked without a cable needle‭ (‬if you prefer‭).  ‬The result is a helical pattern of stitches that runs across the back of the hand and across the palm‭.  ‬

The mitts are designed to be short‭, ‬stopping just after the knuckles‭, ‬because I like to use them when my office is chilly‭, ‬and they let me type without restrictions while keeping my hands toasty‭!  ‬If you want to work the hand or cuff longer‭, ‬please feel free to adapt the pattern to suit you‭.
