Year of Mittens: April

In April I only knitted one mitten. Not one pair, just ONE! 




This pattern was basically just the chart. There's about four lines of "directions" and otherwise you just get to puzzle it out. If you've made this style of mitten before, no problem! If not... well, it took some digging in other patterns and books for me to make this whole thing work.

So far I'm pretty pleased. The fit is good, though I could've made it longer, and I really like the dense fabric this made. On my March mittens, the thin fingering weight yarn made a pretty soft, light mitten. This mitten was knit in Wool of the Andes Sport on size US 2/2.75mm, so it's firm and hefty without being too thick.

Now I just have to knit another one!
