Disappearing Finger Mittens
Disappearing Finger Mittens!
Size 3 double pointed needles
3-ply baby yarn
Gauge: 7 sts/inch
-CHECK YOUR GAUGE!!!!! If you need any help with a different gauge or size, comment and I'll convert it for you! You put a lot of effort into this, make sure everything is right!
-This is for MY hand. I have a 6 inch wrist circumference, and a 7 inch palm! If your hand is smaller, CO less, if your hand is larger CO more. This is why some of my directions are general.
-When I say 'Kfb': use your favorite increase! Who am I to tell you different?
-Straight needles: On the fingers, I said ‘straight needles’ so that it would be understood not to work in a round
