Mini Mittens from Handspun
It didn't feel right to give up so quickly, so when Susan shared another pattern, I had to try it. Mini Mittens designed by Leslie Ann Bestor suits me so much better! They are knitted flat and then seamed which is easier to manage and less fiddly than knitting in the round on double pointed needles.
If you are looking for a quick and easy pattern, this is the one I recommend. The first mitten took only 30 minutes to finish and that included the sewing (whip stitch). The more I knitted, the faster I got and before I knew it, three pairs were finished. It was addicting.

Now all I need is a Christmas tree.
Those are really cute. You are on fire. Come by my blog today.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable--just what I need another addiction in knitting!
ReplyDeleteThat's the pattern I used, too. Isn't it fun?
ReplyDeletethey certainly are cute...but i've got sooo many projects on needles right now, I just can't justify one more. Maybe if I start knitting them in january, I'll have presents for Christmas 08?
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! They couldn't be cuter!
ReplyDeleteAw, those are so cute! I'm glad you found another pattern, I'll have to give it a try, hopefully this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Those look great. I am trying this pattern next. That yarn looks so rustic, love it. Good work.

"Now all I need is a Christmas tree."
ReplyDeleteHeh heh. I signed up for an ornament swap this year and I never have a tree. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I'm pinning them to my cubicle walls instead.
What a unique knit for your tree!!! Love it and the yarn your picked!!!
ReplyDeleteHow darling! I love the homespun. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. This miniature knitting thing is addicting!
ReplyDeleteTracy, I can't seem to open that pattern from WEBS. Is there any way you would be willing to copy and paste it into an email and send it to me? If you can, it's nicholsfamily1994@verizon.net Thanks, Melissa
ReplyDeleteThose mittens look great! I love the colors, and that you used handspun!
ReplyDeleteCute mittens! I've been knitting mini mittens with this pattern: http://www.fortheloveofyarn.com/Issues/06Fall/patterns/fall06_minimittens.shtml
ReplyDeleteIt uses size 4 dpns--the same size I use for many of the preemie hats I knit.
Is the pattern posted somewhere? I would love to make these. Sharon
