I finished these a week or two back, but didn't
get the post-felting photo up until now. DS, Kille's Brother Gamma, is now 15 and has grown considerably since I last knit him mittens. The weeks of subzero weather we've had this year tilted the scales in favor of him asking me for mittens to keep his hands warm. Felted ones are perfect for this sort of weather! This pattern I particularly like, as the back of the hand utilizes short row shaping to give a natural curve to the finished felted mitten. That makes them more comfortable than the regular shaped mittens in felted material.
Specifics:
Yarn: Sheep Shop Two
Pattern: Fiber Trends Shaped Felted Mittens
Needles: Knit Picks Options Size 11
Felting: Two cycles in a front loading machine
