Mitts to match the Fractal Lattice Hat :)

“Let this be a time that you remember that your life is greater than simply being a person in the world who has basic needs. It is this greater part of you—this greater calling and this greater purpose—that gives meaning to all the lesser aspects of yourself and unites them harmoniously and fulfills their roles.” M Summers

A note on sizing - for larger mitts a DK weight yarn and needles that will give you a gauge of approx 32 sts per 10 cm / 4” will result in a 20cm/8” circumference mitt - please note that a sample in this size has not been knitted.

Gauge:
36 stitches and 45 rows = 10cm / 4in in stranded knitted, knitted in the round, and blocked. Knitting to gauge is important to ensure that your knitted item is the correct size, and to ensure that yardage requirements are similar to those stated in the pattern.
