These midweight mittens in three sizes (S/M/L) feature textures inspired by shells and a sassy tilted cuff. The knitting fun starts with an asymmetrical garter stitch cuff shaped in short rows, then moves up to a panel of welting pattern worked in knit and purl which brings to mind the ebb and flow of the tide. The design is compatible with solids as well as softly shaded self-striping or gradient yarn and variegated yarns with longer color runs.Suggested Yarns: Stone Soup DK, Kent DK, Ghillie Sport/DK, Chebris Sport, Better Breakfast DK, or any soft, bouncy wool with approximately 75 yards per ounce Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and elasticity.Finished Size: 7(8, 9] inches in circumference (washed and dried flat) to fit hands measuring up to 6.75(7.75, 8.75) inches around palm, excluding thumbYarn requirements: 140(165, 190) yardsGauge: 24 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch on larger needles (unwashed, unblocked) Needles: DPNs size 3US (3.25 mm) or size to obtain correct gauge DPNs size 2US (2.75 mm) or .5 mm smaller than gauge needle
