Great tutorial Megan! This was my first project using round needles (magic loop method). I made one mitten as a test since I’m a new knitter, so now I’m making a pair!
Ugh I cast on all the stitches before I realized I can't use my normal ones. I don't have needles like that! Is that really the only way to make them? Bummer
Post circular needles are just under 1m in length (2.5 ft) and this project requires only one skein of wool depending on the type of yarn you're using. A 250 gram skein is more than enough.
Oh! I'm sorry for the misunderstanding! Yes, that includes the cuff. I knit until the mitten measured 8 1/2" from the cast on edge. If you'd like a more customized fit, you can also knit until the mitten is 1 1/2" less than your desired length. Hope this helps!

How many yards of yarn are needed for the pair of mittens? Also, how long are the circular needles?
