Hate trying to take your gloves off to use your phone? Me too! The KNIT SAFARI Cable i-Mitts will keep your digits toasting while letting you tap, scroll and swipe on your touchscreen. These handknitted cable mittens will definitely take your knitting, and winter knitwear, to the next level!
The Cable i-Mitts is a DIY knitting pattern for a pair of chunky knit mittens. Knitted seamlessly in the round from the cuff to the fingertips, with stitches picked up to work the thumb. Want to give yourself a challenge? Tiam suggests knitting the cables without a cable needle, which will push your skills and speed up your knitting!
