The knitting kit for Korset (The Cross) mittens contains yarn and knitting instructions for a pair of mittens. A pattern chart with yarn samples is included in the knitting kit. The pattern consists of four pattern colors, all in lambswool.

The yarn is a 2-strand, 450m/100g lambswool yarn spun at Henrichsens Uldspinderi in Denmark consisting of merino wool from New Zealand and a small amount of wool from Gotland fur sheep. The wool is guaranteed mulesing-free. The pattern yarns are dyed by Pernille Silfverberg by hand based on the original yarns. The background Korset is knitted in mottled, natural gray lambswool yarn. The main color is yellow or, alternatively, blue. The mittens are worked with up to three pattern colors simultaneously.
