For this project, you'll be working with a gauge of 24 stitches and 26 rounds per 10 cm (4 inches) in vibrant colorwork. We recommend using Biches & Buches, Le Petit Lambswool yarn, which comes in 50g skeins with an impressive yardage of 248 meters. Remember, for this pattern, you’ll need to hold the yarn double! Choose a striking color combination of very dark grey and light grey to create a stunning visual effect that will surely turn heads.

When it comes to yarn amounts, you'll need 40 grams of the main color (MC) and 20 grams of the contrasting color (CC) to complete your project.

For your knitting tools, grab your DPNs or circular needles in US sizes 4 (3.5mm) and 6 (4mm). You’ll also need some scrap yarn for the thumb stitches, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and scissors to tidy up your work.

If you’re looking to make a smaller version for kids, we have a handy tip! Use sock yarn that is 4 ply or fingering weight and knit with smaller needles (US1/2.25mm and US1.5/2.5mm). Simply follow the instructions provided in this pattern for an adorable pair of kid’s mitts.
