Notes

I loved my first pair of Fiddlehead mittens so much, I’m making a pair for my sister-in-law, Leta. She’s just lost her dad and I wanted to do something nice for her. I know she loves to walk outdoors, so I figured these toasty mittens might be nice.

I’m holding the Silk Cloud double and I decreased the stitches on the liner from 50 to 45, using #3 needles, so the liner will be small enough.

The Silk Cloud is incredibly soft for the liner - I like it better than the Rowan Kidsilk Aura, but it is a small pain to hold it double.

Thanks to goodgmissm for the great color scheme.
