The Shepherdess mitts are knitted in the round, starting with the cuff.
The sheeps eyes and nose and the horns will be embroidered with
duplicate stitch afterwards. To create a woolly look, you will purl the stitches around the sheeps face.

Yarn:
I used Rauma finull for the mitts,
but any rustic fingering weight yarn is a good choice,
such as Jamiesons spindrift or Jamiesons and Smith jumper weight
You need approximately:
20 g of the main colour and 15 g of the contrasting colours. You also need a tiny bit of
black and brown yarn to embroider the eyes and nose and the horns of the sheep.

Needles:
US 1,5/2,5 mm DPNs or circular needles for magic loop technique
or needle size to obtain gauge. US 2/2,75 mm needles for a bigger size.

Gauge:
32 stitches and 36 rows = 10 cm in stranded knitting in the round after blocking.
Notice that the size of your mitts will change if you do not achieve gauge.

Size and finished measurements:
Measurements after blocking:
20 cm = long, 19 cm = circumference

If you wish your mitts to be bigger,
go up one or two needle sizes.
Note that you will need a bit more yarn,
if knitting the mitts in a different gauge
than described above.
