For best results, ensure you follow the gauge of 9 stitches = 1 inch and 9/8 rows = 1 inch, achieving 36 stitches X 36 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in stranded work. You’ll need US#1 (2.25mm) and US#2 (2.75mm) double-pointed needles (set of 5), using the smaller needles for ribbing. Be sure to adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the proper gauge for a perfect fit.

This cozy project requires fingering weight yarn in two colors, with one skein of each color needed to create your beautiful Dancing Dolphin Mittens. Dive into your next knitting adventure with this exquisite pattern that brings the ocean's magic to life!
