Every other word out of my munchkin’s mouth is “Dog.” Dog this, dog that. She is in love with dogs. We don’t even own a dog! I imagine we have a dog in our future, though. So, on our one cold spell this year, I whipped up these mittens for my munchkin.

Is your little one in love with dogs (or cats) too? These mittens are perfect for the little animal lover in your life. They knit up quickly and have small design elements like a two color rib and an I-cord cuff to pull the whole mitten together. Enjoy!

The model is wearing 12 month mittens. If you are unsure of which size to choose, I recommend going up a size; the mittens will simply fit their little hands for a few months longer.
