Notes

My gauge was smaller than the pattern’s so the mitten circumference is 5” instead of 5.5”.

I knit these mittens in the round on DPNs instead of flat. I cast on 28 sts for the cuff and increased to 30 sts for the hand instead of 31 sts.

I worked the cuff in rib instead of garter stitch.

I knit 21 rnds in stockinette instead of 18 rnds before the mitten shaping. I used ssk instead of skpo.

Measurements:

  • Rib Circumference: 4”
  • Hand Circumference: 5”
  • Cuff Length: 1.25”
  • Hand Length: 3.5”
  • Total Length: 4.75”

Total Cost: $1.03
