Every knitter remembers their first project. The one that made your hands feel clumsy and capable all at once. The one you held up and thought ... I made this.

And packed with the foundational skills that will carry you through a lifetime of knitting. There's a moment every knitter knows ... when the stitches start to click, your hands find their rhythm, and you think ... *oh. I **can** do this.* Your knitting journey starts here. <hr> **FINISHED SIZE BEFORE SEAMING** Width: 7.5"/18.75 cm Length: 7"/17.5 cm **YARN** Worsted Weight (Craft Yarn Council #4) Sample mitts used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Solids & Heathers (80% Acrylic, 20% Wool; 197 yards/180 meters per 85 grams), approximately 81 yards/74 meters/35 grams in color # 5 Fisherman. **GAUGE** 18 stitches x 24 rows = 4"/10 cm, worked flat in stockinette stitch, after wet blocking. **NEEDLES** 1 pair US 8/5 mm straight single-pointed needles (or size needed to obtain gauge) ✂️ **NOTIONS** • Stitch Markers • Row Counter or Scrap Paper • Darning Needle **SKILLS YOU'LL LEARN** • Long-Tail Cast-On • Knit Stitch • Garter Stitch • Purl Stitch • Stockinette Stitch • 2x2 Ribbing • Mattress Stitch Seaming
