"Cheer Up" Mittens

This delightful pattern is crafted for women’s size M mittens, featuring measurements of approximately 9.5” to 10” (14 - 16cm) in length from cuff to tip, a width of 4” (10.1cm) or 8” (20.2cm) around, and a thumb length of 2.75” (7cm). From the crook of the thumb to the end, the mittens measure about 5” (12.5cm). Keep in mind that individual results may vary due to different knitting styles and tension, so it's essential to swatch first for the perfect fit. The desired gauge to achieve for this pattern is 15 stitches and 16 rows, which equals approximately 2 inches or 2 cm.
