Inglis Mitts
This errata has been corrected in the pdf version of the pattern.
Long mitts make the chilliest days okay. Starting at the bottom and working up by way of a glorious cable, the ribbing continues at the top to form a foldover cuff. Instead of a traditional thumb gusset increases are worked in a single column on the palm, creating an elegant curve and allowing the cable pattern to flow smoothly from cuff to thumb.
The pattern is named after Elsie Inglis, a doctor who made equally significant contributions to the Scottish suffrage movement and healthcare for women and children. She established a maternity hospital in Edinburgh. Many years later, babies were still being born in Elsie Inglis’ — and one of those babies was Ysolda herself!
Inglis was originally published in Wool Tribe, the 2016 Edinburgh Yarn Festival Companion.
