SIZES: Choose from sizes 1 (2, 3) for a perfect fit. The finished circumference measures 16.5 (18, 22) cm / 6½ (7, 8¾) in, designed to be worn with 0-1 cm / 0-½ in negative ease, ensuring a snug yet comfortable wear. The length of the mitts is 23 (24, 25) cm / 9 (9½, 9¾) in, making them stylish and practical.

YARN: For these mitts, we recommend using Isager Highland Wool, a 3ply/light fingering weight yarn made from 100% lambswool, providing both warmth and softness. Each 50g ball contains 278m/305yds of beautiful yarn. You will need: Yarn A: Sand; 1 (1, 1) ball and Yarn B: Denim; 1 (1, 1) ball, allowing for a stunning contrast in your finished product.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS: To create these gorgeous mitts, you will need 2.75mm (UK 12/US 2) knitting needles that are suitable for working small circumferences in the round. Don’t forget to have a stitch marker handy, and some smooth scrap yarn for holding stitches, which will make your knitting process seamless.

TENSION: Achieve the perfect fit with a tension gauge of 32 stitches and 40 rows to 10cm (4in) over the stranded colourwork pattern using 2.75mm needles after blocking. Remember to take the time to check your tension and adjust your needle size as necessary to ensure that your finished mitts are just as beautiful as you imagined.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or new to the craft, the Pinwheel Mitts pattern is a fantastic project that combines style and functionality. Get started today, and keep your hands warm and stylish this season!
