Spiral Mitts Pattern By lookingglassknits.blogspot.com

I’m passing on the pattern to you. It’s super easy and quick to knit. I had been knitting my cowl with two plies of Colourmart 4-ply weight cashmere (so a little lighter than fingering) held together, so I used them singly to knit these mitts. If you want to do something similar, you could use any luxurious fingering weight yarn to make the mitts, then hold it double to make a matching spiral cowl! I imagine that these would be lovely knit out of Malabrigo sock yarn, for example. Visit here to get your pattern: Fall freebie: spiral mitts.
