Description
I need a few testers for these luxurious silk mittens. I would expect feedback with pctures underway and when done, and I need at least mitten to be done by the end of April.
General:
The pattern contains 12 pages of written instructions, photo tutorials and charts. It has a separate section called Tips and Explanations, where you find useful tips for how to get the best result.
Gauge and Size:
My gauge is 36 sts & 36 rows in two stranded knitting in the round. The size of the mitten can be slightly adjusted by increasing or decreasing gauge, but as is, it fits the average female hand.
Yarn:
Mulberry Silk by the Zippy Zebra, hand dyed in colourways Champagne and Pine Forrest. Testers will get 20% off when buying yarn for this Project (coupon will be provided). This is her finest silk yarn, and it is incredibly soft and light, creating a feeling of luxury.
I used the following amount:
- Champagne: approx. 35 grams (~140 m)
- Pine Forrest: approx. 20 grams (~80 m)
I used dpns 3.0 mm.
Pattern is in English.
