Hello!

I'm Andey and I just finished my first pair of mitts today- the Victoriana Gloves by Hattie, in Knitpicks Palette Clematis Heather. They were supposed to be for me, but my nine year old stole them. (But as quick and easy as they were I can whip myself up a pair in another day or two. Cast on this morning and took the picture this evening.)

Child's Fingerless Mitts

I made these for my youngest sister, she's 8 years old. The pattern is my own, I just figured out my gauge, measured her arm, and went right along! I loved the rib pattern because it causes the gloves to fit snugly, and yet have some give. I used Yarn Bee super soft yarn, sport weight. (I don't remember the exact color name..sorry!) and a size 4 circular needle. I made a gusset for the thumb, just as you would with mittens or gloves. Mallory wanted these to look like old fashioned style mitts, hence the above-the-elbow pattern :) I talk more about these here at my blog.
