**Yarn:** For this project, we recommend using Bijou Basin Ranch Bijou Spun Bijou Bliss yarn, which consists of 50% Yak Down and 50% Cormo Wool. With 150 yards (137 meters) per 2-ounce (57-gram) skein, you'll need just 1 skein in Hunter (MC) for the main color and 1 skein in Natural Cream (CC) for the contrasting color. This luxurious yarn will ensure your mittens are soft, warm, and beautifully textured.
**Needles & Notions:** You will need a size 2 US / 2.75 mm set of 5 double-pointed needles to create these mittens. Additionally, a size G–8 / 4 mm crochet hook is required for the provisional cast-on. Don’t forget some smooth waste yarn, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches!
**Gauge:** Achieve the perfect fit by ensuring your gauge is 28 stitches and 34 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch when working over the charted pattern. This attention to detail will help you create mittens that are both beautiful and functional.
**Construction Notes:** These elegant mittens are worked seamlessly in the round using double-pointed needles. They begin with a cozy turned hem at the cuff and feature an eye-catching scrolling flourish design created with Fair Isle-style stranded colorwork. Please note that the pattern is provided in chart form only, adding to the challenge and beauty of your knitting project.
**Errata:** Be aware of the following correction: On the Right Mitten Chart, the last stitch on rows 50 and 54 should be a k2tog, as per the original version dated 11.11.10. Ensure your mittens are crafted flawlessly by following this important update.
