Casper was feeling a bit moosey and designed this adorable moose face! I hope you enjoy it, too, on your moosiest days…

This is a pattern for a pair of stranded mitts with a friendly moose. Chocolate Moose mitts are worked from the bottom up and in the round and with 3 strands of lace weight yarn held together. The top of hand (Chart A) is the same for both, but the palm has a Right and Left orientation. Sts are placed on holder for thumb and sts cast on to join for top of mitt. Then thumb is worked before weaving in ends, blocking, and making your powerful moose call!
Size adjustments are easy to make with yarn weight and needles size, though this will change the yarn amounts.
