. . . and another thing
Jun 23rd, 2006 by Ginger
I was sorting thru a pile of things and found these mittens I finished for the Dulaan Project this month.

pattern: Dulaan Easy-on Kids Mittens
yarn: 100% superwash wool
needles: clover bamboo US6
cast-on/off: June
notes: I like this pattern . . . very easy . . . very quick. I will be making up several pairs I’m sure. The only thing I will change on future pairs is the decrease at the top of the mittens. Instead of the matched double decreases on either side I will decrease evenly around, more like a round toe on a sock. With the decreases as they are knit the seam ends up looking a bit wonkey when you get them on an actual hand, though they look great sans-hand.

Here they are on my 6yo and you can see the ridge going up the middle of the fingers. With the decreases more evenly spaced you wouldn’t see that, just a personal preference, I think.
    



Is that Emu superwash?? I see what you mean about the decreases.
Long time no hear from you and then all those projects! Great!
