Magic Mirror by Kristel Nyberg

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? The cable-framed medallion on these mittens brings to mind an antique mirror frame. The fine yarn makes the cable motif delicate and beautiful, and the mittens will truly fit like a glove. Both the cabled ribbing and the motif are mirrored for left and right mitten for the symmetrically minded, but you can just as well only change the thumb placement and otherwise work the mittens exactly alike.

Worked in sport weight wool, these mittens are perfect for keeping your hands warm when it’s chilly but still not cold enough to take out the polar gear.
