The New Leaf Mitts are written for three yarn weights: Aran/Worsted, Chunky, and Super Chunky, in two sizes: small/medium and large. The pattern is for fingerless mitts with a bonus pattern for full mitts in super chunky! It is a stunning design and a quick and fun knit, the perfect accessory to match the other New Leaf patterns.
