Fogtown Mitts use a sport-weight wool yarn in 2 or more colors. Long interval self-striping yarns work very well in this design. While 2 colors is a minimum, you can use more than 1 main color and/or contrast color as long as there is sufficient contrast.
This pattern is written in 4 sizes, from child small to adult large. Additional sizes can also be made by changing needle sizes and/or yarn weights, thereby knitting at a tighter or looser gauge.
This design can be worked as a full mitten, or a fingerless mitt, in all available sizes. The thumb includes a gusset, and the top mitten shaping is a rounded spiral-shape. This pattern is one of 5 in the Fogtown Set: Hat, Mittens, Mitts, Socks and Cowl.
