Hey Mittens is a quick, versatile knit that’s perfect for gifting, with enough sizes and variations to keep everyone’s fingers warm for as long as the snow flies. Suitable for creative stash-busting, carefully planned color schemes, or for showcasing a single cozy yarn or marl, these mittens are worked from the bottom-up, and can be made with stripes, bobbles, both, or neither! They are sized to fit a variety of hand sizes from youth to adult, with length options written to maintain the same number of stripes regardless of hand length. The rounded tops give them a cute and classic vibe, while gently-angled thumb gussets provide a comfy, secure fit.

Sizing
This pattern is sized to fit adults and most children over about age 6. It includes 4 hand circumference sizes (from 6.5” to 9” 16.5-23 cm) and 5 hand lengths (from 5-8.5” 12.5-21.5 cm) in 12 different combinations, and also provides instructions for adapting the pattern for different row gauges.

Techniques
Suitable for beginners on up, links to video tutorials are provided as well as written instructions for needed techniques.

Versatility
This pattern can be made again and again, with different results every time. Tips for choosing stripe colors and marls are provided, along with full details of the stripe/marl schemes of six pairs of sample mittens that can be followed exactly or used as inspiration!
