This mitten pattern by Ysolda was a conviniently small project after a couple of larger ones. The yarn I used was Paksu Pirkkalanka by Pirkanmaan kotityö Oy, something I've found well suited for mitten projects. The needle size I used was 3.5 mm, but the cuff is still almost too loose. If I knit these again, I'd use a smaller needle for the cabled section. We'll see if the button loop is going to be in the way in every day used when the tops are on. One use I can think of for these kind of mittens is outdoor photography in the winter time.
Love these! They look perfect with your grey coat.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAnd The color is great!
Wow, the detail is stunning, and I just love the bright orange color. Great for gray weather.
ReplyDeleteI love your orange mittens, so bright and cheerful for the winter. I just finished those myself and I'm wondering too about the button loop. Worst case scenario, it annoys me and I just cut it off and bind off the tip. I just have to wait for winter to arrive now.
