This is the ninth pattern from the book Vettlingar / Mittens by Margret Maria Leifsdottir. The book is now out of print but the individual patterns are available as Ravelry downloads.

The mittens are knit from the cuff up in the round using five double-pointed needles.

Yarn
Any fingering weight yarn to fit gauge.

Main color (off-white) : 40 g/160 m.
Contrast color 1 (gray): 10 g/40 m.
Contrast color 2 (black): 10 g/40 m.
Contrast color 3 (red): 10 g/40 m.
Contrast color 4 (coral-pink): 2 g /8 m.

(It is perfect to use up leftover yarn for the contrast colors as you need very little of each color)

The yarn used in the mittens pictured is Lanett, from Sandnes and Sock yarn from Today I Feel (www.todayifeelyarn.com).

Needles
2,5 mm og 3 mm double-pointed needles.

Gauge
15 st x 20 rounds of pattern on 3 mm needles = 5x 5 cm.

Size
The mittens are one size, a ladies medium.
Width: 8,5 cm.
Total length including cuff: 26 cm.

It is easy to shorten the mittens by skipping one pattern repetition either before or after the thumb.
