NOTE ON SIZING: This pattern was designed to be bold and dramatic, so therefore spans the breadth of the hand. Adding or removing a repeat would change the size of the mittens by over
3in/7.5cm. If you want to change the sizing, I recommend going up or down a needle size. Make a swatch to make sure you like the density of the fabric before committing to the entire project. If the fabric is too dense, try a DK weight yarn. If it isn’t dense enough, try an aran or bulky weight yarn. If you substitute yarns, try to use animal fibers over plant fibers. Plant fibers like cotton tend to work up very differently than wool or alpaca, so your end result will be very different from the samples pictured in this collection.
