These warm winter mittens in five sizes (XS/S/M/L/XL) are worked with a single cable detail to showcase a rustic, earthy yarn. Since they knit up super fast on larger needles, they are a good vehicle for chunky handspun or slubby yarns, special fibers, or learning to cable. They feature a fitted gusset and top shaping. Suggested Yarns: Kent Worsted, Confection Worsted, Chebris Worsted, Better Breakfast Worsted, Targhee Tango Worsted, or any worsted/aran weight yarn with 32 to 40 yards per ounce that knits to pattern gauge. Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size.Finished Size: 6(7, 8, 9, 10) inches in circumference to fit hands measuring up to 6(7, 8, 9, 10) inches around palm (blocked)Yarn requirements: 125(150, 175, 200, 225) yardsGauge: 17 sts and 22 rows = 4 inches in stockinette on larger needles (washed and laid flat to dry) Needles: size 7US (5.0 mm) for body (or size to obtain correct gauge) size 6US (4.0 mm) for cuff (or one size smaller than body needle)
