Sprig

Spring often seems to bide its time before its arrival, starting slowly with just a hint of warmth and sunshine, and a few wee buds that appear before the trees and hedges completely burst out in a sea of colour. These mitts are just the same – offering just a hint of cables and bobbles in the shape of a floral motif, against a background of ribbing. It’s the promise of something beautiful, but still subtle and sleek – just like that little sprig of flowers pushing up from the new grass!

These mitts are worked in the round from the cuff up, and feature a cable-and-bobble motif placed on the back of the hand, along with a thumb gusset and modest twisted rib pattern all over. Written for Malabrigo Arroyo, or your preferred sport-weight wool yarn.
