These mitts are worked sideways and sewn on the edges. I am not a fan of seaming and that showed with my first mitt. It was knitted and mutilated (not seamed) with a bulky yarn. Not having enough yarn to re do it, I (a) had to switch yarns, (b) gain back lost confidence. I didn't take me long to do both. Mittens no. 2 and no. 3 were done fast.
Overall, this is a well written pattern; suitable for beginners. I assume an advanced knitter can modify the pattern to work the mitts in the round.
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to laugh out loud.
Beautiful job Monica! WOW.
ReplyDeleteThe color and the fit are perfect. Love your photos.
Lovely color too. There's something quite cool about a sideways knit stitch. Glad you are happy with the result. I have the vague notion floating around in my head to try a pair, but there's so much else going on who knows if I'll ever get there!
ReplyDeleteThose look wonderful, so simple and elegant! I particularly love the color you chose. The color alone will cheer you up in the winter!
