MATERIALS: For this project, you'll need one skein of Ancient Arts Superwash DK (100% superwash merino wool, 225 yds/100g) in color MN01 mineral, approximately 125 yards per set. Additionally, gather one set of US #6/4mm double pointed needles (DPNs), a tapestry needle, and a stitch marker to keep track of your stitches.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 32 stitches and 30 rows = 4” in 1x1 ribbing when unstretched, ensuring your mittens fit perfectly.

Both sizes of mittens boast the same circumference, but cater to different lengths of gusset openings, allowing for a personalized fit based on your hand measurements. Perfect for keeping your hands cozy while allowing for full dexterity, these mittens are a must-have accessory for any knitwear collection.
