Moonlit Coast Mittens

### Lighthouse Mitten Knitting Pattern **Errata:** Please note the correction in version 23 April 2014. On Row 69, stitch 31 should be white. **Pattern Inspiration:** This exquisite mitten pattern draws inspiration from the rugged, windswept coastline of Nova Scotia. Ideal for anyone who longs for the soothing presence of the sea, these mittens beautifully capture the essence of marine life, making them a perfect accessory for chilly days. **Fit and Sizing:** The pattern is designed for a women's medium size, with a hand circumference of approximately 7.5 inches. For those who require larger or smaller sizes, simply adapt the needle size or select a different yarn weight to achieve your desired gauge. Remember, using larger needle sizes will typically increase the mittens' length, while selecting a thicker yarn will enhance their width. **Thumb Design:** This pattern features a thoughtfully designed thumb with a side gusset, providing exceptional comfort and a superior fit. **Materials Needed:** To create your Lighthouse Mittens, you will need any fingering weight yarn in contrasting colors. For my mittens, I utilized Zwerger Garn Opal 4-Fach in vibrant white and deep marine for a stunning visual contrast. **Needles:** Choose the needle size necessary to obtain your desired gauge, which typically ranges between 2.0mm to 2.5mm based on test knitters' experiences. Additional tools required include a tapestry needle, stitch markers (if desired), and scrap yarn or a stitch holder for temporarily securing your thumb stitches. **Skill Level:** This knitting pattern is tailored for intermediate knitters who have experience with stranded knitting techniques. **Important Note:** Due to the EU VAT regulations that take effect on January 1, I will temporarily disable sales to EU countries on my Ravelry page. Embrace the tranquility of the sea by crafting your own pair of Lighthouse Mittens today! Perfect for gifting or adding to your winter wardrobe, this pattern will guide you through creating a warm and stylish accessory that showcases your knitting skills.
