Description
Sideways stripes of rib, garter, Fair Isle and stockinette stitch give a rich texture to these comfy Mittens. Also the pattern includes provisional cast ons, German short rows, magic loop and easy bind offs. I'll go over all of these in the class. The size is adjustable. You will be using a circular needle but they are knitted flat.

Homework Required?

The gauge is 12 sts and 15 1/2 rows to 2" (5cm) square using stockinette stitch (alternate knit and purl rows).
