GAUGE:

14 sc + 13 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) with MC.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Santa Claus Mittens Reviewed by Haslage J on 2009-11-19
I love this pattern!!!!!!!!!! So simple!!!I use Vanna's Choice worsted weight yarn and G hook for the child size. And an H hook for the adult size. I also add 2 extra rows for the thumb on the child mitten. I work the cuff in single crochet for a more snug fit. The mittens are made for low income families in the area . Its the perfect pattern since it works up so quickly. Very easy to understand instructions!
