Fingerless mitts are always one of my favourite things to design and knit. The limited amount of space on the hand is a fun challenge and I love coming up with different ways to use the space!
If you’ve been here for a while you’ll know that I started designing mitts with twisted rib and cables and while I branch out into other things these days, I never forget my first love! There are so many cable patterns out there to explore!
The pattern for Rackle comes with a photo tutorial for working the cables without a cable needle. I highly recommend giving them a try. The alternative is using two cables needles and it feels more fiddly than doing it the other way.
Like some of my other mitt patterns (Tar-Sgàil Mitts and Aisneach Mitts) you can swap the left and right mitts over to get a different look. I love how the cables wrap around the edge of your hand! If you’re gifting them, or, like me, prone to mixing them up when you’re in a hurry, this is particularly handy, because there’s no wrong way to wear them!
You can get 25% off Rackle with the code ChainSale until 11.59 pm (BST) on the 16th of September 2025. The pattern is also on LoveCrafts and Etsy!
If you want to find out what I’m up to between blog posts you can keep an eye on what I’m up to on Instagram, or come join me on Patreon for 50% off new releases and to find out what I’m working on for the next few of months!
If you’d like an exclusive 40% discount on future releases sign up for my newsletter – I only send out emails when I release a new pattern or am having a sale, so usually, you’ll only hear from me about once a month.
