Reynard and Vixen Mittens
Unfortunately, the company that created the yarn used in this pattern is closing this year. To find a substitute look for a fingering weight yarn with a similar fibre content and yardage/100 grams and allows you to achieve the gauge listed in the pattern.
These mittens are knit with an Eyelet Mock Cable ribbed cuff and a thumb gusset. The eyes and nose can be added with duplicate stitch. This pattern includes directions and charts for 3 sizes: 7 (8, 9) inches/17.5 (20, 22.5) cm circumference. To determine your size, measure around your knuckles and choose the size that gives you a small amount of positive ease.
