Fun in the Snow Mittens

Materials

US 0 (2mm) set of dpns or circular needles for Magic loop method

Light fingering weight yarn. About 280 yards /65 g total (MC – 199y/43 g, CC – 101y/22 g) for longer version or 270 yards/60 g total (MC – 185y/40 g, CC – 95y/20 g) for a shorter version.

Gauge: 9 sts x 13 rows = 1”x 1” knit stranded in the round

Notes

1 Size: with recommended yarn and needles the mittens will turn out to fit a 7.5 – 8” circumference hand. Use thicker yarn and larger size needles to make larger mittens.

2 Versions: three versions are available: 1) V1 - 68sts with afterthought thumb; 2) V2 - 70 sts with thumb gusset, 3) V3 – extra charts for a 3-color version with gusset.

3 If you prefer a shorter version, after knitting the ribbing, skip the cuff section (rounds 1-13) and proceed with round 14.

4 The thumbs are the same for all versions. But you can choose between two options or mix and match, if you like.
