The Anticline mitts are a stylish, modern set of cuffed fingerless gloves featuring a striking pattern of twisted ribbing and diagonal cables that wrap elegantly around the wrist and hand. The cozy ribbed cuffs are designed to be worn turned back for the convenience of fingerless gloves, but can also be unfolded for extra warmth on the chilliest days. These mitts work up beautifully in both solid and tonal hand-dyed yarns, making them perfect for that skein of sock yarn in your stash that’s just too gorgeous to wear on your feet. The Anticline mitts knit up shockingly quickly despite the fine gauge; the traveling cable motifs give this pattern that addictive, ‘just one more row’ quality that will you have you finishing your first mitt over a weekend.
