Lùbach

£5.50

Lùbach, meaning winding or meandering in Scottish Gaelic, features a twisting cable winding its way across the back of the hand like a slow-flowing river. This fingerless mitts pattern is a really quick and fun make – perfect for yourself or a gift for anyone. With a simple elegance and six sizes, they’ll fit everyone from teen to adult.

The pattern is fully written instructions and the cable pattern is also charted. It also includes a photo tutorial for a super stretchy cast on called the Estonian cast-on for the bottom of the glove and the backward loop cast-on. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. These additional techniques are used: picking up stitches.
