**Finished Size:** Length: 20.5 cm / 8”. Width: 8 cm / 3”. Thumb: 3 cm / 1”.
**Yarn:** For this delightful project, you will need Cascade 220 & 220 Heathers yarn, made of 100% wool. Each skein weighs 100 g and provides a generous 200 m / 220 yds of yarn. You will require one skein of each color: A: Charcoal 4002, B: Provence 2425, and C: Natural 8010.
**Needles & Notions:** To create these beautiful mitts, gather your supplies, including 3.5mm (US 4) & 4.5mm (US 7) double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a size that will help you achieve the correct gauge. Additionally, you will need 2 safety pins, 2 stitch markers, a darning needle, and 71 cm / 28” of black worsted weight yarn for the embroidery details.
**Gauge:** Ensure your stitches are tight and consistent by following the pattern using a gauge of 24 stitches per 10 cm / 4” on 4.5mm (US 7) needles.
**Notes:** For best results, if you are knitting more than three stitches of the same color, be sure to tack down the second color on the wrong side (WS) to prevent long floats in your design. If you anticipate not using a color for several rounds, it’s advisable to break your yarn, leaving a tail to weave in later for a neat finish.
