Woodland Mittens

When working with wide pattern repeats, adjusting your size is easily accomplished by altering your gauge and accordingly modifying the stitch count. To achieve the perfect fit, consult the chart provided in the pattern guidelines to align your gauge with the desired finished circumference of your project.

The sample shown is in a Medium size, created at a gauge of 7 stitches and 8 rows per inch, resulting in a finished circumference of 7.5 inches and a length of 7.25 inches (not including the cuff). This versatile sizing means that, generally, the Small size is suitable for children; the Medium is ideal for women; and the Large is designed for men.

For this project, you will need 1 skein each of Nature Spun Sport by Brown Sheep Company, a high-quality yarn made from 100% wool, offering 184 yards (168 meters) per 50 grams. The main color (MC) recommended is Ash (720S), while the contrasting color (CC) is Pewter Green (401S). You can also opt for any yarn that allows you to achieve a gauge between 6 to 7.5 stitches per inch.

This pattern is not only perfect for knitters looking for a stylish and functional piece, but it also offers the flexibility to customize sizes for various recipients, making it an excellent choice for gifts or personal use. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this project promises to be enjoyable and rewarding!
