The drizzle mitts are perfect to use up left over bits of fingering weight yarn. The name of the mitts was inspired by the stranded color work, which reminded me of a light drizzle. I personally love rain, even though right when it starts raining I’m usually out on my bicycle. I’ll be the girl smiling whilst getting soaked. The cheery colors of the mitts perfectly express my love for rain! These mitts are perfect for knitters new to stranded knitting.

One size. Mitts are 5 inches measured from cuff to cuff. Instructions are given on how to lengthen the mitts.

Gauge (in pattern): 9 stitches per inch and 10 rows per inch. Gauge isn’t crucial for this pattern, although I suggest going up a needle size if your gauge is tighter than this, because the mitts would end up pretty tight.
