Created to compliment Lyrical Knits’ Fractured Fairy Tale Hat and cowl, these mittens are worked in 2-color stranded color work in the round. Two sizes in two lengths are offered in heavy sportweight/light DK yarn, but further adjustments in sizing can be achieved by altering the gauge with either needle size and/or weight of the yarn.

A KAL for any of the Fractured Fairy Tale accessories is in progress here:)

The negative-to-positive patterning of the pinwheel-floral design makes keeping your hands warm a little more fun this winter, and the construction of the thumb gore ensures that the mitten won’t twist towards the palm when wearing.

Finished Measurements: Sizes sm(med) measures to 8(9.25)” in circumference around the hand above the thumb. Length is approx. 10.25” cuff to tip for size med (shorter length) at the stated row gauge. Size med is shown in the photos.
