Gauge and Size: The recommended gauge for this mitten pattern is 36 stitches and 36 rows in two-stranded knitting worked in the round. This ensures a nice, snug fit. While the size of the mitten is optimized for the average female hand, you can easily adjust the size slightly by increasing or decreasing your gauge, allowing for a customized fit that suits your personal needs.
Recommended Yarn: For this project, we suggest using Drops Nord, which is a 4-ply fingering weight yarn. However, feel free to experiment with any yarn of your choice, as long as you maintain the correct gauge to achieve the desired results. For this pattern, I opted to use DPNs (double-pointed needles) in 3.0 mm size. You will need three colors of yarn for this vibrant mitten design. Here’s the approximate yarn amount required:
- Light Purple: approximately 35 grams
- White: approximately 15 grams
- Dark Purple: approximately 20 grams
