White Birch Outside My Window

Materials• US Size 0 (2mm) set of dpns or circular needles (for Magic Loop method); US size 00 (1.75mm) for ribbing (optional) • Light fingering weight yarn - 231y/50 g (211m/50g): You will need about 231 y/50 g total: Background color – 162 y/35 g, Contrast color – 69 y/15 g

Gauge: 9 sts x 13 rows (knitting in the round) in 1” x 1” after blocking (this is gauge for recommended yarn and needles)

Notes****1. Sizes: The pattern is charted for two size options: adult S/M (64 sts) and adult XS/teen (56 sts). The size of the mitts can also be adjusted with yarn and needles. My recommendation would be (64 sts option): for S/M light fingering + 2mm needles, for M use fingering + 2.25/2.5 mm needles, for large use sport weight and 2.5/3 mm needles.2. Stranded colorwork: Follow the charts from right to left. Catch longer floats using preferred method. Some details are added after the knitting is completed using either duplicate stitch or embroidery.
