This single pattern is available as a download.

For this pattern I used:

Yarn & Amounts: Two 50g balls of Mohair Tweed (70% merino and 30% mohair, 110m/120yds per 50g).

Metres: 220m.

My Alternative Yarn Suggestions & Amounts: Illustrious Naturals DK One 100g hanks, or Bo Beep Pure DK two 50g hanks.

Needles: Set of four double pointed 3.75mm knitting needles.

Notion: Cable needle (optional).

Gauge (tension): 24 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm square over rib pattern when using 3.75mm needles.

Measurements: To fit average sized hand.

My design ideas and advice: This pattern is one of eight pattern that I designed to launch especially at Yarndale 2017 along with the  Mohair Tweed which was also just launched that year. The yarn is spun in Donegal so I named all the patterns using Irish words, Gael (pronounced gale) is the Irish word for an Irish person or a Scottish highlander – the essence of identity. I love the cable on this mitten, it’s one of my favourites and I have used it on a few other designs so far – you can have matching socks as I used it on the  Gael Socks, another design is the Farrimond Cardigan from my  Simple Knits book and then there is  Farrimond’s Cushion.
