Night Walk Mittens

The **Night Walk Mittens** are rather tightly knitted, using Swedish 3-ply Wool Yarn from Ullcentrum Öland, rustic Gammelnorsk Spaelsau 2-ply Wool yarn and/or Lettlopi, which makes them very durable and warm but soft. As long as you can get the correct gauge, you can also use thinner yarn. I even made a very light version using Rauma Finull PT2. The pattern is inspired by a walk under the night sky. Can you imagine the stars glittering over the treetops and the snow crunching under your boots? This pattern is **written in English** and contains: **Step for step written instructions** **Colorwork charts for the left and the right mitten. There are different possibilities to pattern the palm of the hand as well.** **Sizes** Finished hand circumference Women’s M approx. 20 cm Women’s L approx. 21.5 cm Men’s M approx 22 cm Men’s L approx 23 cm **Yarn** You will need approx.
