This pattern for Two At A Time Top Down Flip Top (or not) Mittens is more like an adventure. It is set up so that you can use whatever yarn you like, teamed up with the needles that give you the gauge you like…for whatever size you like! What’s not to love?

So, find your yarn. Work a gauge swatch to determine needle size. Take a few measurements from the wearer-to-be (if the mitts are not for you)….and get creating!

I used around 200 yds for an Adult Size Small, using a light worsted weight. Your yardage will vary with yarn size. The pair in the photo were knit using Rowan’s Lima yarn. 2 balls.
