Mitten Wonderland

**Knitting Pattern Materials and Gauge** Prepare to create a charming knitted piece with our comprehensive materials list! For this pattern, you'll need: - **Needles:** A set of double-pointed needles (dpns) or circular needles in US Size 0 (2mm) for your main work. If you prefer the Magic Loop method, circular needles will also work. An optional set of US Size 00 (1.75mm) needles can be used for ribbing for a snug finish. - **Yarn:** Choose fingering weight yarn, and for this pattern, I highly recommend using Knit Picks Stroll Solids, Glimmer, and Tonal. You will require approximately 231 yards (or 50 grams) of yarn, which breaks down into different colors: - Background Color (BC) - 153 yards (140 meters) - Contrast Color 1 (CC1) - 44 yards (40 meters) - Contrast Color 2 (CC2) - 66 yards (60 meters) - Contrast Color 3 (CC3) - 9 yards (8 meters) Additionally, gather small scraps of Christmas Red and Green yarn (optional) if you want to add delightful details resembling Christmas lights. You can also use small beads or sequins for a festive sparkle, along with a little extra yellow yarn for creating charming windows. - **Finishing Tools:** Don't forget a tapestry needle to neatly add details in duplicate stitch, which will enhance your final piece. **Gauge:** To ensure your project turns out just right, aim for a gauge of 9 stitches and 13 rows per inch when knitted in the round using a stranded pattern. This knitting pattern not only allows for a great opportunity to practice your skills but also turns out beautifully festive and eye-catching. Enjoy the process of creating something special! Whether you’re knitting for yourself, a loved one, or to gift for the holidays, this pattern is sure to bring joy to your knitting journey. Happy knitting!
