Size: women's medium Yarn: fingering weight yarn: Koigu KPPPM color # P623B, 1 skein, 50g 175yds/160m, $100\%$ merino wool, solid or semi solid yarns are best for these mittens Needles: $2.5\mathrm{mm}\,5\,\mathrm{DP}$ Notions: three stitch markers, small stitch holder, tapestry needle, cable needle Gauge: 7.5 sts $\mathrm{~x~}10\,\mathrm{rows}=1$ inch Pattern Notes: the bobble edge is knit on two straight needles, after that it will be joined in the round with four needles, knitting with the fifth (or whatever method you prefer for knitting in the round). As usual the mittens can be made slightly smaller or bigger depending on the yarn and needle size used. Be careful not to twist the bobbles when joining. The cable on top of the hand is cabled in different directions for right or left hand. Cuff has written out directions and a chart, you can use whatever you like best.
