Named after a picturesque island in Finland, these mittens embody the essence of warmth and comfort, ensuring you stay cozy when the temperatures drop. **Size and Fit** These mittens are designed for an average hand circumference of 18cm, making them a great fit for most adults. Before you start, it’s a good idea to measure your hand to ensure the perfect size! **Yarn Details** For this project, you will need one size of yarn: 55 grams of Holst Garn Coast, which provides an impressive 385 meters (422 yards) of soft, warm yarn. To create the plush texture, you will hold three threads of yarn together while knitting.

Always knit a swatch to check your gauge for the best results! **Gauge Information** Achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 32 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch while using the larger needle with three yarns held together. This ensures that your mittens will fit perfectly and look lovely. **Additional Materials** To complete the Pettu mittens, you will need the following materials: - Stitch holder or waste yarn - Cable needle - Stitch markers - Tapestry needle These mittens are not only a practical accessory for your wardrobe but also an enjoyable knitting project.
