For accessibility, this e-book collection is available in my etsy shop and Payhip shop. The patterns from the original Kitty Mitts collection have been my most knit patterns, so now seemed like a good time to add a few more. Buddy Bear Mitts have soft gathered smocking that creates a lovely design on the top. The reverse side is knit in 3 by 2 ribbing. You have the choice of two thumbs, the “little kitten” or “big kitty” (short or long), and the mitts may be easily lengthened at the wrist and finger ribbing, or the long thumb. You may cast on in either direction, too. Instructions are step by step in terms a loom knitter will understand.

Loom: 3/8 inch small gauge with at least 35 pegs flat knit.

Yarn: 125 yards worsted weight yarn

Notions: loom tool, 3 or 4 stationary markers
embroidery needle

Buddy Bear Mitts are one of three patterns in the “More Kitty Mitts collection.” The e-book includes a full stitch guide, customization instructions, choice of two thumbs, and three patterns.
