Materials and Tools Required
The Spiral Mitts pattern calls for aran or worsted weight yarn, with less than 100 grams needed to complete the project. The recommended yarn is Hobbycraft Women's Institute Soft & Smooth Aran, which is composed of 100% acrylic fiber. This yarn choice is recommended specifically because it is beautifully soft and features anti-pilling properties, ensuring that the finished mitts maintain their appearance and quality through extended wear and washing.
Crochet hooks required include:
- US Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
- US Size 7 (4.5mm) crochet hook
Additional materials needed are a yarn needle for weaving in ends and a stitch marker for tracking pattern rounds and stitch placement.
