The Brandon Peak mittens are a simple, elegant mitten pattern that can be worked up in 4 different yarn weights. They can be made as either a fingerless mitten or a full hand mitten.
So whether you want to match a mitten to a feature hat or scarf you already knitted, or wish to stash bust and use up left over yarn, these mittens should be just the project.

Yarns:

The pattern is written for 4 yarn weights, fingering, double knit, worsted/Aran weight and chunky/bulky. Please note that stitch counts are NOT provided for the small child sizes for the full range of yarns. The small child sizes can still be worked in either fingering or DK yarns. Tween to adult sizes can be worked to any of the 4 yarn weights.

One pair of adults size full mittens uses 70 meters of chunky yarn.

Recommended needles: circular needles or DPN, in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm or 7mm, relevant to yarn used.

Construction:

Mittens are worked from the top down to the cuff, which makes it easy to get a perfect custom fit.
