Materials: 2 strands Wool-Ease, #9 dpn's (wooden ones work great)

Cast on 24 sts.

This will fit a small woman or teenager. For larger mitts, use #10 dpn's at a
gauge of 3-1/2 sts = 1" and increase the number of rnds between rib and thumb
to 13 rnds.

I've also made these with 2 strands of Henry's Attic Toaga (mohair). Nice and
warm and dressy looking.
