ROBINIA MITTENS are mittens with a classic fit and a feminine look. The mittens are worked in stockinette stitch in a simple stranded pattern.
The mittens can be worked in two sizes as hands come in different lengths. The pattern also describes how to add extra length if you need a longer mitten than size 2 provides.
I have also used thinner yarn to knit the ROBINIA MITTENS for kids, thus creating mittens in size 5-6 years and 7-8 years. You can find info about this in the section ROBINIA MITTENS for kids on page 2.
Size
Sizes: 1 (2)
Length: 23 (25) cm
circumference: 21 cm
Needles
2.5 mm and 3 mm double-pointed needles
Optional: smaller double-pointed needles for picking up the thumb stitches
Gauge
23 sts x 30 rows in PATTERN on a 3 mm needle = 10 x 10 cm
I recommend knitting a swatch before starting the project. Wash and dry the swatch before measuring the gauge. Adjust your needle size accordingly, as a single stitch more or less across 10 cm can considerably change the fit of the finished mitten.
