Dragons and Gnomes everywhere are putting down their swords and snuffing out their flames to hang together at the playground!

Degree of Difficulty
This pattern is perfect for the knitter who is familiar with mitten construction and has experience with stranded knitting and reading charts. There are some long floats so experience in catching those will also be helpful.

Materials:
• Needles - US 2 – 2.75mm circulars for Magic Loop or a set of DPN’s (or size needed to get gauge) PS – I never use DPN’s so I won’t be any help at telling you which stitches go on which needles!
• Yarn – 50g each of MC and CC in Fingering Weight yarn will be plenty (Finished mittens weight aprox. 61g for the pair)
• Stitch markers (mark the thumb gusset for easy placement of increases!)
• Scrap yarn or stitch holder for live thumb stitches (I use a safety pin!)
• Darning needle

Gauge:
• 9 stitches by 10 rows = 2.5cm in stranded colorwork

Size:
• Ladies Medium/Large (21cm (8.25”) from top of cuff to tip of finger, 20.5cm (8”) circumference at the fingers. This is blocked measurements)
