This pattern was created from my love of camping and my slight obsession of vintage trailers.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Approx. length 9 ¾ (10) inches/ 25 (25.5) cm; Approx. circumference, not stretched: 7.5 (8) inches/19 (20) cm

I constructed these using the same size needle for both the rib and body of the mitten but if you prefer a tighter rib, I suggest dropping down to a US 1 (2.25 mm) or even a US 0 (2.0mm). Please check your gauge in the round over colourwork before starting and adjust needles or yarn accordingly.

There are many long floats in the colourwork. I catch every 3-4 stitches, never catch on the same stitch the following round, and keep my stitches spread out after being knit to my right needle to avoid puckering.
