Hello Yarn Handspun Yarns.... Pirate Mittens

Pirate Mittens

You’ll need:

*yarn: Dale of Norway Hauk in natural (contrast color) and black (main color)- one skein each, plus a bit of scrap yarn for thumb placement (You can sub another sport weight wool if you prefer. You'll need about 100 meters of each color.)

*needles: US 3 double pointed needles, or long circular for magic loop, or whatever size you need for gauge

* size: to fit a small/medium woman’s hand , 8" circumference, 12" from tip to bottom edge

* gauge: 6 sts. and 6 rows = 1" in stockinette

*I've provided a plain palm pattern and a palm with the year. Do both the same, one of each, or one with the date and one with your initials!

*I'm thinking the best way to change the size would be to knit these in different yarn weights. 8 sts. per inch (fingering weight) would make one 6" around and 5 sts. per inch (worsted weight) would do 9.5" around, etc.

**Please print the English version, as well, to get the graphics portion of the pattern.

I'm not responsible for the content of the French pattern. I can't read it! I also can't help you with any problems you may have in knitting it in French. If you can speak English, then I'm happy to help. French translation provided by Niqui of Skulls.
