City Lights
When rain falls on the city at night, the streets glitter and glow. Everyday lights for traffic and shops become a symphony of colour, reflecting on wet pavement and bringing the city to life. The City Lights fingerless mitts capture this effect in a sharp colourwork combination of tonal and variegated yarn.
Sizes
There are four sizes in the pattern: 1 (18cm / 7.25” hand circumference), 2 (20cm / 8” hand circumference), 3 (22.5cm / 9” hand circumference), and 4 (25cm / 10” hand circumference). You can find your size by measuring around your hand just below your fingers (not including your thumb), and choosing the size closest to your measurements.
Make sure to double check your gauge with the colourwork chart, as some knitters have a tighter gauge when knitting stranded colourwork.

Quand la pluie tombe la nuit, les rues scintillent et s’illuminent. Les lumières quotidiennes de la circulation et des commerces se transforment en une symphonie de couleurs, se reflétant sur le trottoir mouillé et donnant vie à la ville. Les mitaines Lumières de la Ville capturent cet effet grâce à une superbe combinaison de fils ton sur ton et multicolores.
