Thanks to bronwyndp, who spotted some errata -- I’ve updated the pattern.

11/29/2011 I’ve been gone from Ravelry from a while, while there was lots of life happening, and came back to find lots of people had found the pattern and were making mittens for wee ones to enjoy. I wrote the pattern almost entirely because I couldn’t find one and my son, then about a year old, needed mittens. (The other reason I wrote it was to give my mommy brain something to do to stay sharp while I took a break from school.) I’m glad people are getting use out of the pattern.
