Mittens inspired by the traditional embroidery and textiles of Austria.

It is important to get gauge to get the size stated in the pattern. The sample was knit with a fingering yarn for the black and a lace weight for the color. It was still possible to get the correct gauge, but using two fingering yarns will make it a little easier.

Used approximately 40g of the black yarn (about 200 yards) and 20g of the colored yarn (about 100-110 yards)

The page where you can download the mitten pattern has a chart for those who need a shorter thumb. I made the original for someone with a 3” thumb, but there is also a chart for a 2.5” thumb available.
