It’s the DK version of “Vento del Nord”, the same ribbed fingerless mittens but a little bit warmer (and faster to knit!).

Please note: metrage indicated above refers to dk yarn.

Instructions are intended for circular knitting, so you can use dpns or long circular needles in magic loop.

Ribbing gives a good fit and adaptability to many sizes:
size 1 fits small hands (approx. 17cm hand circumference)
size 2 fits approx. 19-21cm hand circumference
size 3 fits big hands (approx. 23cm hand circumference)

In pictures I wear all 3 sizes to show how they fit - even I have 19cm hand circumference and my optimal size is 2 (light green).

size 1 mittens weigh approx 32g (184m)
size 2 mittens weigh approx 40g (230m)
size 3 mittens weigh approx 44g (253m)
So all of them are below a single ball of HolstGarn Supersoft.
Halve meters if you knit with a dk yarn - since I used the yarn doubled)
