This weekend I finally buckled down and created a pair of matching mitts to go with one of my favorite hats. I knew I had enough left over yarn from the ball of Malabrigo worsted (the hat only took about half of the 100 gram ball). Ever since I finished the hat, I had thoughts of making a second accessory to go with it. Either a small scarf or cowl or mitts. I decided on mitts, partly because since I have needed my coats this winter I have yet to put one on that doesn’t already have mitts in the pocket. There is something I love about having a matching set of mitts and a hat on cold days. Makes me feel more put together cute than just bundled.
These little mitts took me 215 minutes. Please know I am told I am a fast knitter (I have never been tested), but I also fiddled with the stitch distribution (I am committed to doing things two-at-a-time whenever possible). I am confident that if you have a surprise person end up on your Christmas list (or if its not longer December, perhaps a birthday sneaks up on you) that you still have time to make them a quick little gift of warmth!
