OVERVIEW
The mittens are knitted in two-stranded colorwork worked in the round from the cuff up. Later stitches are picked up for the thumb. This pattern is recommended for intermediate beginners with a difficulty score of 3/5. The chart is easy to follow and repeatative enough to memorize.
The motif is inspired by snow crystals forming on windows while the sun shines through. The blue and white colors are only recommendations, have fun with the color choice.

MATERIALS
About 160 meters of main color (dark) fingering weight yarn.
About 160 meters of contrast color (light) fingering weight yarn.
2.5 mm circular needles for magic loop method or DPNs.
Sample on front page is knit in drops flora colors 13 (main color) and 03 (contrast color) on 2.0 mm needles.

GAUGE
40 sts x 40 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm after blocking.
Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm, change to a smaller needle size.

SIZES
Increasing or decreasing 0.5 mm in needles size can lengthen the mittens by 1.5-2 cm, while the circumfrence is altered by 0.25-0.5 cm.

2.0 mm for size small (womens)
2.5 mm for size medium/fits most (womens)
3.0 mm for size large (womens)
This small change in needle size does not make the mittens see-through, but does a great deal for the length of the mittens.
