S- & z-Twist Mitts

There are two directions in which a plied yarn can be spun. In the s twist, the plies run from top left to bottom right (like the middle part of the letter s), in the z twist the plies run from top right to bottom left (like the middle part of z). For these mitts I have taken inspiration from the twist and designed cables that look like plied yarn.

The mitts are crocheted from slip stitches. The cable is a horizontal cable, a technique which I invented. The cable can be used as the thumb hole.
