You will use 2 colors of Noro Silk Garden for these mittens - I used color numbers #269 and #359. One skein of each. Try and pick 2 colors that are similar but different enough so you can tell them apart or choose 2 totally different colors that blend well!

Size US 7 18”-circular and double point needles were used for this project and the finished hat will fit a 20-22” head. Silk Garden relaxes some after it is washed so you might consider knitting these a little on the snug side to accommodate for that.
