These mittens are a complementary design to the Midnight Mischief Sweater.

This pattern includes directions and charts for 3 sizes: 7 (8, 9) inches/17.5 (20, 22.5) cm circumference. To determine your size, measure around your knuckles and choose the size that gives you a small amount of positive ease.
