US Size 0 (2mm) set of 5 dpns or circular needles (for Magic Loop method) 2. Light fingering weight yarn 231y/50 g (211m/50g) You will need about 325 y/70 g total: Color 1 (solid) – 162y/35g, Color 2 (solid or gradient) – 162y/35g. Plus small amounts of yellow for embroidery 3. Tapestry needle (for duplicate stitch embroidery) **Notes** 1. Size: The mittens start with 60 stitches and are then increased to 70 stitches after the gusset. With recommended yarn, needles, and gauge the mittens should fit an 8” circumference hand. To make larger size mittens use larger needles or thicker yarn. 2. Stranded colorwork: Follow the charts from right to left. Make sure to catch longer floats using preferred method. The mittens are knit with only 2 colors at a time, any additional colors are added with duplicate stitch technique after the knitting is done. 3. Duplicate stitch: A few details are added after the knitting is completed with duplicate stitch technique. Experience suggests that it is easier to do duplicate stitch and embroidery while both ends of the mitten are still open. For that reason, I recommend that you do the embroidery before you start decreasing for the tip of the mitten. See further notes on embroidery in the Finishing section. 4. Thumbs: The chart for the left and right thumb is the same. However, there is a shorter and a longer thumb version.
