Yarn required for this project is sport weight yarn. The sample shown is beautifully crafted using Quince & Co. Chickadee (100% American wool; 181 yards / 166 m, 50g). For the Main Color (MC), you'll need approximately 120 (135, 165, 195) yards or 110 (125, 150, 180) m. For the Contrast Color (CC), approximately 110 yards or 100 m will suffice. If you're looking for alternatives, consider substituting with the equally fantastic Fibre Co. Road to China Light.
Gauge (after blocking) for this knitting pattern is 27.5 stitches & 39 rows = 4 inches / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch, achieved using US size 3 (3.25 mm) needles knitted in the round. Ensuring you get the right gauge is crucial for the perfect fit and feel of your finished mittens, so take the time to knit a swatch if necessary. These mittens not only keep your hands warm but also showcase your creativity and craftsmanship.
