Darling Deer
Welcome to the delightful world of the Green Forest Gang! Our Darling Deer fingerless mitts are here to greet you with their charm and warmth.

Finished Size
Length: 20.5 cm / 8” | Width: 8 cm / 3” | Thumb: 3 cm / 1”
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Cascade 220 & 220 Heathers, made from 100% wool. Each skein contains 100 g, measuring 200 m / 220 yds, providing ample material for your crafting needs. You will require one skein of each colour: A: Olive 9448, B: Turtle 2452, C: Natural 8010, D: Alki 2443, and E: Ash 8013.
Gauge: You'll achieve a beautiful pattern with a gauge of 24 stitches over 10 cm / 4” using 4.5mm (US 7) needles. This ensures your mitts will fit perfectly and showcase the intricate design.
Notes: When knitting more than three stitches of the same colour, be sure to tack down the second colour on the wrong side (WS) to prevent long floats from forming. For best results, break your yarn if you anticipate that you won’t be using that colour in the next several rounds, leaving a tail to weave in later for a tidy finish. If you prefer a smaller fit, simply drop down the needle size to 3.25mm (US 3) and 4mm (US 6) to achieve a snugger design.
Get ready to immerse yourself in this delightful project that not only enhances your knitting skills but also provides a gorgeous addition to your autumn and spring wardrobe. Explore the tranquility of crafting with our Darling Deer mitts today!
