Chantal Mitten Kit are GORGEOUS! The Chantal Mittens by Moreca Knits are a classic and I need a pair in every colour. The pattern includes two variations: fingerless mitts and classic mittens and we have kits for each. The mittens are worked in the round in a slip stitch pattern, starting at the cuff. After shaping the thumb gusset with increases, the thumb stitches are placed on hold, and the hand is worked straight. each finished with tailored shaping. The thumb is completed last, ensuring a snug and polished fit. Your kit includes 2 or 3 balls of Cardiff Cashmere Classic in your chosen colour depending on your size and chosen style (mittens or fingerless mittens) and a copy of the knitting patten emailed to you in PDF form. Sizes: S / M / L / XL Size guide: The Chantal Mittens have a slim fit and are designed without positive ease. The sizes S / M / L / XL are designed to fit a hand circumference of 15-16 / 17-18 / 19-20 / 21-22 cm 6-6¼ / 6¾-7 / 7½-7¾ / 8¼-8½ in. Before you begin, measure your hand to determine the right size.
