They’ve been a long time coming, haven’t they? And they’ve had a name change, too! Their working name was Sneaker Wave, but there really wasn’t anything sneaky about them, and sneakers just remind me of Keds. Tidal waves are the rollers of the tide going in and out. Sounds soothing to me. (And thank goodness for “Find/Replace” in Microsoft Word!)
The Tidal Wave Mitts and Hat both begin with ribbing for a stretchy fit. Loose rolling cabled waves alternate to transform ribbing into WOW. The mitts feature mirrored cables, so each hand has a cable that twists toward the thumb.
The thumb gore is formed with centered double increases. Bulky yarn and big needles make this quick knit a breeze!
The hat’s cables terminate elegantly to close the top of the hat, in both a shorter version and a taller version for a perfect fit. This is a great introduction to knitting cables.
The mitts and hat each take about 100g/130 yards of bulky weight yarn. They’re designed here with Knit Picks Chroma Twist Bulky, shown in the Narwhal colorway.
Charts and line by line instructions are included.

Crumbs ! – what a pair of beauties, Michele ! 🙂
Your creative genius doesn’t appear to have suffered any from this year of awfulness, and we can all be thankful for that.
Waves of admiration from Downunder ..
It’s an oddly productive year! Even so, 2020 can just be over now.

They look great, and will make nice quick projects now that it’s getting colder!
Thank you! They really are quick. At least, they are when I’m not ripping back to make the perfect crown!
