Obviously, I didn&#8217;t do a full mitten. I stopped so they&#8217;d be fingerless mitts. The pattern book gives the pattern for round numbers only. (5sts per inch, 6sts per inch, etc). I was working in DK, and my gauge was 5.5sts per inch. Miss P is kinda tiny tho, so I used the 2-3 years pattern at the 5sts per inch, and it came out a little bigger. Worked like a charm!<br \/>\nAnd it used up leftovers beautifully &#8211; maybe 20g total, and a couple of hours knitting time, max.<br \/>\nWould I do it again? Absolutely. I love this book, always have, it&#8217;s such a nifty resource for the basics, mittens, gloves, hats etc.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/310511%20005.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/310511%20005.html','popup','width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/310511%20005-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnd they look so cute!
