Notes

Unisex mittens for Becky’s kids.

Since my row gauge was smaller than the pattern’s I worked an extra rnd after finishing the thumb gusset increases and before putting the thumb sts on scrap yarn.

I also worked an extra rnd after the top shaping set up rnd before starting the decreases.

The hand length ended up 5.75” long instead of 6” long so the total mitten length is 8.25” instead of 8.5”.

I added some buttons for a little extra pizazz. The cat buttons are from Joann Fabrics and the snowflake buttons are from my mom’s stash.

Measurements:

  • Circumference: 5.75”
  • Total Length: 8.25”
  • Hand Length: 5.75”
  • Thumb: 2” circumference, 1.5” long

Total Cost: $2.42

  • Yarn: $0.92
  • Cat Buttons: $1.50
  • Snowflake Buttons: Mom’s stash
