These beautifully designed mitts feature a stunning mirrored cable pattern and an extra-long cuff that effectively shields your wrists from biting winds during the colder months. Originally created for the November 2017 Yarn Crush club, these mitts blend functionality and style seamlessly.
Finished Size: The cuff and hand measure 5 inches when unstretched, accommodating up to 8 inches when stretched to fit a variety of hand sizes.

Needles: You will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round. The recommended needle size is 6 US (4.0 mm), but feel free to use any size that helps you achieve the desired gauge.
Gauge: To ensure your mitts come out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches and 26 rows over 4 inches in blocked stockinette stitch when knitting in the round.
