Are you sitting down?

By ScoutJ | Posted in Holy Crap!, Kids, Knitting |

I do not want this post to cause anyone to faint. Remember back here where I had finished one of T’s fingerless mitts? Well since then? I not only finished his but two more pairs for the kids. That means three pairs of mitts in one month. Not too shabby huh?

They all totally love them and love me for making them. Now I don’t know what to knit next. It was weird last night not having something to knit. Sure I could work on one of my UFOs. I dunno. I need to think about it. Anyway. This pattern is great and I just modified it a bit for the kids. I still cast on the same amount of stitches but just shortened the lengths. I knit 3″ to the thumb instead of 4″ and then just measured the kids hands to see how much farther up I went after working on the thumb. For the boy the total length before casting off was 6″ vs. 8″ and I just made the girl’s a teeny bit smaller. The yarn you see here is just some Bernat camoflauge I had laying around the house from when the kids were knitting a few months ago. I highly recommend this pattern for a super quick and easy knit.

    very cute! It’s good to know that it’s so easy to modify for kids, cause I know my little one will love them! I made my first pair this month, and am a total convert!

    The mitts are so cute! I’ve been wanting to learn how to make them so that my little one can have a pair of her own.

    Only the first line or so came up in Bloglines, so I was expecting some sort of nasty injury photo or something equally heinous ;>

    Glad to see it’s “only” knitting!!!

    Gorgeous mitts. YAY!
