This is a modification of the ever popular Fetching fingerless mitts, to make child size convertible mitts/mittens with worsted weight yarn.

You will need the Fetching directions from Knitty to make this pattern.

In fact, it’s a mash-up that also includes elements from two other patterns: the decreases for the mitten top are based on Marcia Lewandowski’s Minnesota Mittens, and the name is a nod to Fetchingly Cute Mittens by Krystal Grams.

New in September 2012, the updated instructions now include a thumb peephole, to help in flower picking and acorn collecting.

Because the Karabella Aurora stretches a lot when washed and when worn, a gauge swatch is especially important with this yarn.
