Moody House Mittens
Difficulty
Intermediate.
Skills
Knitting in the round, working with two colors, reading a chart, decreasing, picking up stitches.
Sizes
One size, adult medium.
Note: The chart repeat is too large to easily scale sizing up or down an inch or two. The best way to achieve a size other than what is listed is by changing the gauge. For example, to make a smaller with a 6” palm circumference, aim for a gauge of 32 stitches = 4” / 10 cm; for a larger mitten with an 8” circumference, use 24 stitches = 4” / 10cm as the target gauge.
Finished measurements
Palm circumference: 7” / 18cm.
Length: 9” / 23cm.
Gauge
27 stitches and 34 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in charted pattern on US 3 (3.25 mm) needles.
