Fiery fingerless mittens

About the pattern ----------------- These Tunisian crochet mittens are made flat top-down and seamed. You can choose to add a textured stitch on the back of the hand or to let the simple stitches show off the beautiful hand-dyed sock weight yarn. Any sock weight or size 2 yarn works for this pattern as long as you get gauge. Gauge is important to get well-fitting mittens, so make a gauge swatch before you start. The pattern is offered in six adult sizes, so you can make fingerless mittens for your entire family. Sizes ----- The table in the photos provides approximate sizes for the length of the mitten. For longer hands, add more rows. For shorter hands, skip rows before or after the thumb. * Circumference between 15-27 cm or 6-11". * Length between 16-21 cm or 6-8.5". Length adjustable. * Thumb circumference between 6-8.5 cm or 2.3-3.3". Skill level ----------- Intermediate in Tunisian crochet, due to shaping stitches (casting on stitches on both ends of the row) and optional mosaic. Materials --------- * **Yarn**: sock weight or size 2, with 400-420 meters per 100 grams; approximate usage per size:  22, 26 (32, 36) [42, 48] g per pair per size; approximately 1/3 of the weight in a contrast color if adding the mosaic. * **Hooks**: 5 mm Tunisian crochet or straight hook; 3.5 mm regular crochet hook. * Tapestry needle, scissors. * Optional: stitch markers for the mosaic section, 1 m elastic thread for the cuff. This pattern is excellent for showing off small quantities of hand-dyed yarn. Use a plain color as contrast for the mosaic.
