Elegant mitts that represent the colours of Norwegian nature. Nice to wear in between seasons, or when computing at your desk all day.

Pattern specs
The colourwork section is charted, the rest of the mitts has step-by-step instructions.
In the colourwork section you only ever knit with 2 colours per row.
The mitts are knitted in the round, and the pattern is written for circular needle and magic loop technique, but can as well be knitted on DPN’s (not in the description).

Sizing
The pattern comes in two sizes: women’s S and M, accomplished by using different needle sizes.

Size S - hand circumference above thumb: appr. 18 – 18.5 cm (finished mitt: 17 cm)
Size M - hand circumference above thumb: appr. 19 – 19.5 cm (finished mitt: 18 cm)

Gauge
Size S: 36 sts and 38 rows to 10cm/4in
Size M: 34 sts and 36 rows to 10cm/4in

Yarn
Exmoor Sock by John Arbon Textiles; 400 meters/438 yards per 100 grams, or any other 400 meters/438 yards sock yarn

Total yardage sample mitts (size S)
MC: appr. 105-115 meters / 114-125 yards (26-29 gr)
