Grey British wool cable mittens

How stylish can mittens get? A soft grey colour that will go with anything, and a classic Y-cable design suitable for men or women. I have knitted these cosy mittens using British "dovestone" wool, a super soft blend of 50% Blue-faced Leicester, 25% Masham and 25% Wensleydale wools.

I have knitted them with a ribbed cuff to slip under your coat to keep the draughts out. They have a fully covered hand and thumb, for those days when it’s really cold. Whether making snowballs or carrying shopping, these will keep your fingers warm.

They measure 25cm (10 inches) long including the cuff, 20cm (8 inches) for the hand section, 10cm (4 inches) across the palm. The knit is stretchy enough to fit most average adult hands. The sweet little “Roses Workshop” brand label is laser etched faux leather.
