Sizes: Medium (Large) with a finished hand circumference of 7.4 (8)” / 19 (20.5) cm and a finished hand length of 6.4 (7.5)” / 16 (19) cm. These mittens are designed to keep your hands cozy while ensuring a comfortable fit.

Yarn: You will need approximately 92 (119) yards / 100 (130) meters of each color from Swan’s Island, All American Sport yarn, made from 100% USA Rambouillet Wool, with a total yardage of 185 yards / 169 meters per 40g skein. For this pattern, we recommend using the main color (MC) Cloud and the contrasting color (CC) Azure to create a stunning visual effect.

Needles and Notions: For this project, you’ll require US size 3/3.25 mm and US size 5/3.75 mm needles or another size that suits your gauge for working small circumferences in the round. Additionally, gather 3 stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and some waste yarn to help with the seamless look of your mittens.

Techniques Used: This pattern will guide you through knitting in the round, stranding techniques, chart reading (note that all decreases are clearly charted), and grafting. Be mindful that some floats will need to be trapped to maintain the integrity and neatness of your design.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, these mittens are a fun and rewarding project that will showcase your skills and keep your hands warm during the colder months. Enjoy the process and don’t forget to share your finished mittens with friends and on social media—we can’t wait to see your creations!
