Gauge:
14 sc + 17 rnds = about 4 in. (10 cm).
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Notes:

  1. Each Mitten is worked in continuous rounds, do not join or turn at end of rounds.
  2. Left and right Mittens are worked the same, beg at the cuff ribbing.
  3. Ribbing is worked back and forth in rows then joined to make a ring.
  4. Thumbs are shaped with increases.
  5. Beaks and other details are worked separately then sewn to Mittens. Eyes are embroidered.
