It's my own favorite for knitting most fingering weight yarns and is available in the US in needle brands such as KnitPicks or Addi. I'm a fairly loose knitter. The US1 or US2 may not be the right the right needle for other knitters to get gauge. I’m always going to recommend a gauge swatch to make sure the mitts will fit. A quick browse through some of the finished projects on Ravelry seems to show more people used larger needles (#2 and #3) than smaller needles. I used the 2.5mm all of the time.

You need 5 needles. I used US size 1 needles, double pointed and I had to slip a couple stiches from the second needle to the first. You need 5 needles.

Did anyone knit these on US needles? Since 2.5 mm doesn't convert, did you use #1 (2.25) or #2 (2.75)? Thought I'd save myself the time and work of knitting a swatch, in case someone else has already done it. :=) Quite lovely. Did anyone knit these on US needles?

Given the $$ for the yarn, I wanted a special pattern - thank you so much for sharing. absolutely beautiful – I have been looking for a pattern for over a month for some very pretty moss green hand dyed cashmere.

I had been making fingerless gloves out of old store-bought socks, so as to have them be thin and fitted enough to wear with every day clothes. Your pattern was fun to knit and fits perfectly!
