ABOUT
These mittens are the second pattern in the Mountain Winter Set of patterns, created for the Winter Solstice Collection from Explorer Knits + Fibers. These mittens are designed to use one skein of yarn. The fabric created is very stretchy (like ribbed fabric). The mittens are worked in the round from the cuff to the top. There are two pattern options: fingerless mitten & full mitten, with corresponding thumb options as well.

SIZES
Size 1 | Palm Circumference 6.25 inches - 7.25 inches / 16.5cm - 18.5cm

Size 2 | Palm Circumference 7.5 inches - 8.75 inches / 19cm - 22.5cm

The fabric is very stretchy; it’s best to select a size with some negative ease as the fabric will grow when blocked
