Knit adorable Christmas Mini Mittens with this detailed step-by-step pattern! Perfect as a festive holiday tree ornament, advent calendar surprise, garland decoration, or a sweet handmade gift box topper.

YARN RECOMMENDATIONS & ADAPTABILITY:
• This pattern is an ultimate stash-buster! It is an excellent way to use up your precious sock yarn leftovers and scraps from your collection.
• What yarn to use: YarnArt Jeans and any similar sport weight yarn are a perfect choice for this project. Standard 4-ply sock yarn leftovers also work wonderfully!
• The sample mittens shown in the photos are knitted from various sock yarn leftovers from my personal stash.
• Highly adaptable: You can absolutely use ANY other yarn weight from your stash to create mittens in various different sizes.

FINISHED SIZE:
• Approx. 2.8 inches (7 cm) long (when using the recommended fingering yarn and 2.25 mm needles).

YARN CONSUMPTION:
• Approx. 26-32 yards PER PAIR
• Note: The yardage listed in the specifications is calculated for one pair of mittens.

MATERIALS & TOOLS:
• Needles: US Size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needles (for Magic Loop) or a set of Double Pointed Needles (DPNs, 5 pcs) matching your chosen yarn. You will also need a pair of matching DPNs to knit the connecting cord (i-cord).
• If using any other yarn weight from your stash, please select appropriate circular needles or DPNs that match your chosen yarn.
• Extras: Stitch holder (or contrasting color thread) and a tapestry needle to weave in ends.
