True North Mittens
Experience the magic of winter with our new True North Mittens knitting pattern! Imagine snowflakes gently falling on serene piney woods, indulging in pick-up hockey on frozen ponds, sipping hot chocolate by crackling fires—the essence of Canada captured in cozy, hand-knitted mittens. The True North Mittens blend whimsical design with a retro flair, making these mittens the perfect first fair isle project for both beginner and experienced knitters. Crafted with simple stranded knitting techniques alongside smooth fields of stockinette and easy shaping, these mittens are as enjoyable to knit as they are to wear. Plus, the silky-soft, tweedy texture of the finished product beautifully mimics a snowy landscape, adding an extra touch of charm. Best of all, these mittens come with a mate!

**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** After blocking, the hand circumference sizes are 6-1/2 (7-3/4, 9, 10-1/4) inches, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone in your family.
**SUGGESTED YARN:** For your knitting project, we recommend using Knit Picks City Tweed DK yarn, which is composed of 55% Merino Wool, 25% Superfine Alpaca, and 20% Donegal Tweed. You will need 2 balls of the main color (MC #24545 Romance) and 1 ball of the contrast color (CC #24980 Snowshoe) to complete your mittens.
**NEEDLES:** To get started, grab a US 3 (3.25 mm) circular needle with a minimum 40” cable for the Magic Loop technique. A set of 5 double-pointed needles is optional for shaping or for those who prefer knitting with multiple needles.
