    Lex is a pattern for fingerless mitts, with some cable detail. These were knit with guys in mind so this is great for a gift for any guy, but they'd be great for a quick knit with some leftover Mal for yourself or anything. Since these are fairly simple they'd look great in a range of yarns, kettle dyed, variegated, self striping, and solid. As long as it's soft enough for next to skin contact it would probably be great for these mitts!

    These fingerless mitts are simple and
    quick, and use approximately 50
    grams of worsted weight yarn. The
    cables on the mitts twist in different
    directions, one to the right and one
    to the left for a little added interest.

    Due to the ribbing used for these


    mitts, sizing by altering the stitch
    count isn’t an option. So, for larger
    or smaller mitts I would suggest
    either using a different size needle
    or a different yarn/needle
    combination all together.

    Size:
    Women’s L/Men’s M

    Materials:
    o 50 g worsted weight yarn
    (shown in Cascade 220 superwash)
    o 5 Size 5 dpns
    o Waste Yarn/Stitch Holder
    o 3 stitch markers
    o Cable needle (optional)

    Gauge:
    5.5 stitches per inch

    Pattern Notes:

    Abbreviations:
    c4b: Slip the first two stitches on to the cable needle and hold to the back of the work, knit the
    next two stitches, knit the two stitches on the cable needle

    c4f: Slip the first two stitches onto the cable needle and hold to the front of the work, knit the
    next two stitches, knit the two stitches on the cable needle

    m1: Make one stitch

    m1l: Pick up the left hand leg of the 1st stitch in the 2nd row on your right hand needle (the
    stitch that was just knit) with your left hand needle, knit through the back loop.

    m1r: Pick up the 1 stitch (the one knit the previous round- not the one on the needle now) on
    the left hand needle with the tip of the right hand needle, place on to the left hand needle and
    knit through the back loop.

    Right Cable Ribbing (Multiple of 10):


    Rounds 1-3: *k4, p2, k2, p2* around
    Round 4: *c4f, p2, k2, p2* around

    Round 4: *c4b, p2, k2, p2* around
    Round 5: *k4, p2, k2, p2* around

    Begin!

    Left mitt:
    Cast on 40 stitches and join in the
    round being careful not to twist. Work
    rows 1-5 of the Left Cable Ribbing
    three times.
    Next Round: *k4, p2, k2, p2* around
    Next Round: Knit

    Thumb Gusset:
    Next Round: k6, place marker, m1, place marker, k to end
    Next Round: Knit
    Next Round: k6, slip marker, m1, k1, m1, slip marker, k to end
    Next Two Rounds: Knit
    Next Round: k6, slip marker, m1r, k to marker, m1l, slip marker, k to end
    Next Two Rounds: Knit

    Continue as established until there are 13 stitches between the thumb gusset markers

    Knit two rounds

    Next Round: k6, remove marker, slip the next 13 stitches on to scrap yarn, cast on two stitches
    using the backward loop method, remove marker, k to end

    Next 6 Rounds: Knit

    Beginning on row 2, knit the Left Cable Ribbing twice.

    Bind off in pattern.

    Right mitt:
    Make as for right, but substitute
    the Right Cable Ribbing for the Left
    Cable Ribbing

    Thumb (Both mitts):

    Place the 13 held stitches on DPNs

    Round 1: Knit, picking up 2 stitches


    in the 2 stitches cast on using the
    backward loop method.
    Round 2: Knit to 1 stitch before the
    end, k2tog
    Round 3: Knit
    Rounds 4-6: *k1, p1* to end*

    Bind off in pattern.

    Finishing:
    Weave in the ends and fill and holes around the thumb. I have a tutorial on my blog for using
    the duplicate stitch to fill in the holes created when picking up stitches for the thumb.

    This pattern has only been knit once, and by me! If you have any problems don’t hesitate to
