Pattern Information: The Sweet Mittens are crafted using easy-to-follow written instructions, making it an excellent choice for beginner knitters. With straightforward guidance, you'll be able to create a cozy accessory that children will love to wear.
Finished Size: After wet blocking, the finished mitten sizes are tailored to suit various age groups: Hand circumference for 1-2 years is 4.7“ / 12 cm, for 3-4 years it’s 5.5“ / 14 cm, for 5-6 years it’s 6.3“ / 16 cm, and for 7-8 years it also measures 6.3“ / 16 cm. These dimensions ensure a snug fit for kids of all ages, keeping them warm and comfortable while they play outside.
Suggested Yarn: We recommend using Aran (8 ply) yarn for this pattern, as it works beautifully with heavily variegated yarns, tweed yarns, and even handspun creations. You can also get creative by knitting the mittens with two threads of Light Fingering yarn to achieve a unique texture!
Throughout this pattern, you'll need just 1 skein across all sizes, requiring approximately 65-82 yards (60-70 meters) of your main color and an additional 8-10 yards (7-9 meters) for the contrast stripe. Whether you're making these sweet mittens as a thoughtful gift or a cozy treat for your own little ones, they’re sure to be a cherished addition to any child's winter wardrobe.
