Sweater Weather Fingerless Mittens - Embrace the chill of the season with our delightful stranded colorwork design featuring charming cozy sweaters and elegant snowflakes. These fingerless mittens are the perfect accessory for cold weather, providing warmth while keeping your fingers free for texting or enjoying a warm beverage.

Materials Needed:
To create your own pair of Sweater Weather Fingerless Mittens, you'll need US Size 0 (2mm) set of double-pointed needles (dpns) or circular needles if you prefer the Magic Loop method. Additionally, consider having US Size 00 (1.75mm) needles on hand for the ribbing, although this is optional.
You'll also need fingering weight yarn with a recommended yardage of 231 yards (50 grams) per skein (211 meters/50 grams). For this project, plan to use approximately 161 yards (35 grams) of each background and contrast color, for a total of 323 yards (70 grams) of yarn.
Gauge: To ensure your mittens fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 9 stitches and 13 rows (knitting in the round) within a 1” x 1” square after blocking. This pattern not only enhances your knitting skills but also results in a picturesque pair of mittens that will be a cherished addition to your winter wardrobe.
