Halloweens fingerless mittens
Size: Adult, with an easily adjustable length, perfect for customizing the fit to your preference.
Yarn: Utilize any fingering weight yarn (approximately 400m/100g). The sample shown in the picture features the beautiful shades of Filcolana Arwetta yarn in Calendula (365), Black (102), Thistle flower (268), and Snow white (100). For this knitting pattern, you will need around 40g (1.41oz) of yarn. Please note, if you choose to knit larger mittens, it's advisable to have some extra yarn on hand to ensure you have enough for your project.
Needles: You'll need 2mm/US 0 needles or the size required to achieve your desired gauge. The recommended needle sizes for the fingering weight yarn range from 2mm to 3mm (US 0 to 2.5). For this specific mittens sample, size 2.5mm (US 1.5) needles were employed for the colorwork sections and the thumb, while size 2mm (US 0) needles were used for rows 50-61 and the ribbing, allowing for a snug fit.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with the following gauge measurements: for stockinette stitch (stripes) on 2mm/US 0 needles, aim for 17 stitches equaling 5 cm (approximately 2 inches). For the colorwork sections, use 2.5mm/US 1.5 needles and maintain the same gauge of 17 stitches per 5 cm (approx. 2 inches).
