This time of year I love a quick and cozy project. With the hustle and bustle of gift giving, it is so nice to give the gift of handmade goodness! The Winter's Night Mittens are fabulously cozy and quick as a wink to stitch up. A gorgeous wood button gives them a rustic feel too. These make wonderful gifts, but are also an ideal charity item for giving too!

Hello, could you please make a child's size??
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the gauge is for the original 16 stitches. I've tried several different hook sizes and they all look too tiny to fit a woman's wrist. LOL other than that, I'm super excited to try out this pattern! I plan on making several pairs as Christmas gifts. :-)
