Notes

Think the purple is Purpuras, will look for tag.

Previous comment lost! Sigh. Made for beloved DIL who loved last year’s Arne and Carlos mittens. Asked for purple. But wanted a different pattern. They became dog-parents this year to Frank, the Frenchie. Choice obvious! BUT after I bought the pattern, discovered it was for not super wash wool and had to be felted to size. Since this was a surprise and her hands are TINY that wouldn’t work. So created my own mash-up: A&C’s base pattern, and my modification of the chart for the Frenchie (eliminated a couple of stitches and rows to make it fit).

First mitten: used same yarn and needles as last year’s. WAY too big--they fit me! Went down two full sizes on the needles. Now I hope they aren’t too small. Tinked the first too-big mitten and re-knit. Hope they fit! Otherwise it will be Third Time’s the Charm.
