Used size 5 needles to knit the mittens in a small size.
Used the size 8 needles with angora yarn to knit the lining.
Knitted a long I-cord string and sewed a button on each end. Knitted a small buttonhole into each cuff on the inside (thumb side) of the mitten. This way the cord can go through the sleeves of a jacket or coat and keep the mittens from being lost!
