Mittens for Gramps

I am almost done knitting for my Michigan Christmas parcel. I had a hard time figuring out what to make my Grandpa. I've given him a hat, and a scarf in the past. This time I made him some mittens. Who doesn't need mittens?



Pattern: Cruiser (free pattern)
Yarn: Lion Brand Pure wool (stash-busted this yarn!)

 I am not sure where I went wrong with these, but I had to make adjustments to get them to the right size. I added 5 extra knit rows while decreasing, and 3 extra knit rows for the thumb, also while decreasing. I am fairly satisfied with the finished mittens.

Have a great weekend!

    The yarn striping gives them a lot of movement. Cool!

    I love them! They totally remind me of Lake Michigan's lakeshores.

    I really like the cool patterning of the yarn. The mitts are perfect for those cold Michigan winters!

I love comments almost more than chocolate. Now that is saying something.
