I love fingerless mitts. They help keep your hands warm without compromising manual dexterity. Not only that, but they are fairly popular with the younger crowd these days.My niece, Athena, has recently started to get into the Harry Potter stories. I thought she might enjoy some mitts done in Gryffindor colors so I whipped up these stripped mitts with black button accents.
The mitts knit up quickly and are based on this pattern. I cut the number of stitches in half and used needles that were a half size larger and the resulting mitts fit her just like I wanted them to. They're very snug and stretch all the way to her elbow.
Now that Christmas is done, I get to make a pair for me!

So so cool! All the way down to the details on the tag. Wow!
(And yet another sign that I need to go get me some knitting needles... or find the ones my mother maybe gave me out of my grandma's old stuff...)
