In between working on my new sweater design (the pattern is getting close, I’m hoping for a release within a week or two), I managed to squeek out another mitten pattern. This one features a herpetological theme! Yes, four legged crawlies adorn the palms and mitten backs.
Once again, this design has taken awhile to get from the initial idea to completion. However, I’m quite happy with the results. Unfortunately, I knit the prototype pair in the larger size (the size is adjusted by working with smaller or larger needles) so they are too large for me to transfer into my personal mitten wardrobe. I guess I need to knit a second pair for myself . . . .
If you, too, find you have an irrational need to create a pair of critter mittens, you can find addtional pattern info here.
