Notions: Gather your essentials, including stitch markers, a stitch holder, and a tapestry needle—these simple tools will help you create your beautiful mitts with ease.
Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 25 rounds = 4" in the charted pattern on the larger needles. Proper gauge is crucial for a well-fitting project.
