What nice mittens

I love this pattern! It is "New England Mittens" designer Amanda Lilley. I had a question about the pattern when I was making the gray pair for Taylor. I emailed the designer and she wrote me back immediately to answer my question. She even gave me a pattern. So nice.


These mittens (like the gray ones I made earlier) are made with Bartlett Yarn. Due to the bulky nature of the yarn I cast on 33 stitches instead of 39. I did use the recommended needles 3 and 5. Because there are fewer stitches the decreases at the top are done the same way except the knit amounts between the decreases are 12, 10, 8, and 6. I know this sounds a little strange but if you get the pattern you will see what I am talking about.


Love them! Gifting them to Morgan (:
