Lulu mittens
Size: Adult
Yarn: For this delightful knitting project, you will need any fingering weight yarn, also known as 4ply, with an approximate weight of 400m/100g. The sample mittens displayed use the beautiful Filcolana Arwetta yarn in the charming colors Lavender Frost (267) and Snow White (100), making them perfect for a cozy winter accessory or a thoughtful gift.
Yarn Requirements: To create a pair of these lovely mittens, you'll need approximately 28 grams (about 1 ounce) of white yarn and 15 grams (about 0.54 ounces) of the Lavender shade. This minimal yarn requirement makes it a great stash-busting project!
Needles: You'll want to use size 2 mm / US 0 needles or adjust based on your personal gauge. For knitting with fingering weight yarn, a needle size range of 2 mm to 3 mm / US 0 to US 2.5 is ideal. In the sample mittens, the ribbing, top, and thumb were knitted with 2 mm / US 0 needles, while the colorwork sections were beautifully crafted using size 2.5 mm / US 1.5 needles for a smooth finish and defined stitches.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is important for the perfect fit. For colorwork using 2.5 mm / US 1.5 needles, the gauge is 34 stitches per 10 cm (approximately 3.94 inches). Be sure to check your gauge to ensure your mittens turn out as beautiful as intended.
