Sizes Available: Adult Small (S) and Medium (M)
Your Measurements: Achieve a comfortable fit with an approximate circumference of 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) for size S and 7.25 inches (18.5 cm) for size M. The length of the mitts measures 7.5 inches (19 cm), ensuring ample coverage for your hands while allowing full dexterity.
Recommended Yarn: We recommend using Bad Sheep Yarn DK, a luxurious blend of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon, providing warmth and durability. You’ll need just one skein each in the delightful colors of Love Letters (Main Color - MC) and Gabriella (Contrast Color - CC). A total of approximately 90 yards (MC) and 50 yards (CC) will yield stunning results, but feel free to use any DK weight yarn that suits your style!
Essential Needles: For this project, you’ll need US 4 (3.5 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) and US 6 (4 mm) dpns, or you can opt for the needle size that will help you achieve the correct gauge.
Gauge Information: To ensure your fingerless mitts fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 23 stitches and 30 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch on larger needles. When working the slip stitch pattern, achieve a gauge of 23 stitches and 46 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) on larger needles as well.
Notions You’ll Need: Don’t forget a stitch marker, some waste yarn or a stitch holder, along with a tapestry needle for weaving in those loose ends. With these handy tools, you'll be set to create your own pair of stunning fingerless mitts.
