Light As A Feather Mitts

The Light As A Feather Mitts design is a collaboration with Campfiber Yarns to explore their gorgeous new Yak Silk DK yarn. These beautifully textured mitts knit up quickly, and are so light, easy, and comfortable to wear. The Light As A Feather Mitts are knit in one solid colour from the cuff up, featuring a ribbed cuff, deliciously squishy waffle texture in the middle, and three options for the top: a fold-over ribbed open top, a short ribbed open top, or a closed top mitten. You can also knit the matching fingering-weight hat pattern that started the Light As A Feather set, as well as the free DK-weight cowl pattern! **SIZES** Toddler (Child, Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large)/T (C, AS, AM, AL) to fit actual hand circumference 5 (6, 7, 8, 9)”/12.7 (15.2, 17.8, 20.3, 22.9) cm, measured around the palm of the hand just above the thumb. Negative ease is built in to the pattern. The lengths are adjustable. If you find that you are in-between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your mitts to fit snug, or the larger size if you prefer a looser fit. **YARN** Approximately 80 (120, 170, 190, 230) yards/73 (110, 155, 174, 210) meters of DK weight yarn, recommended in a solid or tonal colour to show the texture. *Samples shown in Campfiber Yarns Yak Silk DK in Night Flight (231 yards/211 meters/100 grams)* **NEEDLES** US 4/3.5 mm (or size needed to obtain gauge) 36”/90 cm or longer circular needles for magic loop, or DPNs **GAUGE** 20 sts and 38 rows per 4”/10 cm measured over pattern knit in the round, after blocking *This pattern has been thoroughly test knit by knitters with a wide variety of experience.*
