These top-down mittens feature cute foxes with fair isle bands in an Aran weight yarn. Designed to use up small yardages of handspun yarn, these mittens are cosy & thick and quick to knit!

SIZE: Adult M: 9” /22.75 cm hand circumference, 10.5”/26.75 cm tall (including cuff) For smaller mittens, use smaller needles and finer yarn for a tighter gauge, or consider fulling the mittens. Worsted weight yarn and size US 7 (4.5 mm) needles resulted in Child L/Adult S sized mittens.
