Höstnatt

Mittens inspired by autumn nights and Halloween. The design combines bats, spiders and other spooky details, with just the right amount of chills and charm. ##INFO:## This pattern is recommended for intermediate- to advanced-level knitters who have experience with stranded colourwork and working from charts. The mittens are worked from the cuff up in the round using double-pointed needles or a circular needle with Magic Loop Method. There are two cuff options: a classic 2x2 rib and a two-colour 1x1 rib (corrugated rib). Each mitten is then worked in two-colour stranded knitting across the hand and thumb, both of which are finished with Kitchener stitch. The two sizes are achieved by using different needle sizes and gauges, and the thumb is worked as an afterthought thumb. * The charts are divided into right and left mittens, both with dark and light main-colour backgrounds. * Extra chart with letters and numbers to personalise the mittens with initials and/or a year. * Tips and techniques section ##SIZES: ## 1 (2) Total length: 23.5 (25) cm / 9.25 (9.75) in Hand width: 9.5 (10.5) cm / 3.75 (4.25) in Cuff length: 5 (5) cm / 2 (2) in ##GAUGE:## 36 stitches x 38 rounds (34 stitches x 35 rounds) in stranded colourwork, knitted in the round, after blocking = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in ##NEEDLES:## 2.0–2.5 mm (2.5–3.0 mm) / US 0–1.5 (1.5–2.5), or size needed to obtain gauge.
