These squishy fingerless mittens make the most of one ball of Rico Design’s Madly in Love. This soft yarn lends itself to extra round bobbles and lofty cables in a quick and easy knit inspired by the rings of Neptune. The mitts begin and end with a row of adorable bobbles with a bobble cable pattern running off-center along the front.
