Broad Street Convertible Mittens

I've been wanting to make these for awhile, and I've had the yarn for awhile, too. Finally got around to making them. The yarn is very nice to knit with and stripes subtly, but feels a bit thin for warmth. And right now the weather is too nice to really test them.

The pattern was fairly easy and straightforward, just need to pay attention to thumb gusset and fingers. And a tip from a Bernat pattern: knit the row for the mitten cap with a life-line or larger needle to make it easier to pick up stitches after you've finished the fingers.

Convertible Mittens for Kelly

Love these! They are so cute, I want a pair for myself.

Kelly's hands have been cold on her walk to and from school, so I found a pattern for converitable mittens. This way her hands stay warm, but she can still use her iPod Touch.

The pattern gauge was larger than my yarn's gauge, so I used the medium size for my guide. I also traced Kelly's hand on paper so I could see if the size of the mitten was right.

These match Oso's sweater, so they can be coordinated when they go out together. I still have some yarn, so there may be a Christmas stocking for Oso...
