Sizes Available: Adult sizes S (M, L)
Measurements: The mitts come in three sizes with a circumferential fit of 6.5 (7.25, 8) inches / 16.5 (18.5, 20) cm, providing a snug and cozy feel. The length of the mitts measures 7 (7, 7.5) inches / 18 (18, 19) cm, making them versatile for various hand sizes.
Recommended Yarn: For the Moon Bloom mitts, we suggest using Harrisville Designs Nightshades DK, made from premium American Cormo and Wool (250 yards / 100g). You will need 1 skein in the stunning colorway "Dashboard," along with 1 skein of Harrisville Designs Daylights DK in the charming shade "Chirp." Alternatively, you can use DK or light worsted weight yarns in these hues, requiring approximately 50 (60, 70) yards of each color (C1 and C2).
Needles: To ensure your mitts turn out perfectly, use US size 5 (3.75 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) and US size 7 (4.5 mm) dpns, or the size needed to achieve the recommended gauge.
Gauge: Achieve the ideal gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds per 4 inches / 10 cm in stockinette stitch when blocked on larger needles to ensure a beautiful fit and finish for your mitts.
Notions Needed: Don't forget a few essential notions! You'll require 3 stitch markers, some waste yarn for color changes, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends, making your knitting experience smooth and enjoyable.
