Fingerless Mitts with a Ruffle!!

I just finished these super cute ruffled mitts. I LOVE them!!

Guage: 5 sts/inch
Materials: 1 skein pink, 1 skein black, 6 buttons
Needles: US 6
Alterations: I added a little bit of length to the fingertip portion. Instead of knitting 8 rounds, I think I did approx. 12. Therefore..I didn’t have enough pink yarn to finish the second thumb.
SO….I ripped out the first thumb and made it black and made the second thumb black to match. I think if I would have done the original 8 rounds that the pattern said, I would have had enough with 1 skein pink and 1 skein black. Ah well. I’m glad I added the length, though.

  2. Ooo, I'm not really into fingerless mitts, but those ruffles and that colour choice might change my mind. Really pretty!
