Designer: The Kiwi Stitch & Knit Co. This purchase is a knitting pattern; yarn, needles, accessories and finished items are not included.
Construction

Yarn choices
Use a lightweight 8ply yarn, worked single-stranded. The original allowance is 100 m for the pair. Swatch before substituting, as these mitts will stretch with wear.

Metre allowances are approximate. Where the original gives purchasing quantities rather than used metres, these have been converted using its stated yarn length. Swatch, wash and block before starting; allow extra for length changes and differences in tension.
Tension
22 stitches and 32 rows to 10 cm in stocking stitch.
Needles and notions
3.5 mm needles and a wool needle for finishing; use 3.25 mm if needed for a firmer fabric.
