These sweet little numbers got the Ooey Gooey treatment and are just the thing to keep you and your loved ones toasty thru the colder months! Version A is Fingerless Mitts with corrugated ribbing for a little extra pizzazz at the cuff, and Version B are full mittens with the welts used in the original Ooey Gooey sweater! Both versions are knit from the cuff up, in the round. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4) **UNSTRETCHED HAND CIRCUMFERENCE** 6 (7, 8, 9)” / 15 (18, 20.5, 23) cm *Recommended fit is -0.5 to +0.5”/-1 to +1 cm of ease in circumference (when measured around the palm of the hand). Both versions are shown in size 2, worn with no ease on a 7”/18 cm hand.* **YARN REQUIREMENTS** *These are just approximations.
