I just finished knitting these mittens, also destined for the Christmas box. Used a basic knitting pattern for the main body with only 4 rows of rib to start and then picked up stitches and added the faux fur cuff.
Lion Brand Jeans yarn for the main body and Lion Brand Go For Faux for the cuffs.

Today's quote..."Don't offer a lecture to a person who needs a hug"
Really cute mittens--that cuff will be keeping someone really warm and toasty;))) hugs for a good weekend Julierose
ReplyDeleteThe colour is black but it's showing more green on my computer. I like the furry cuffs too.
DeletePrettily knitted mittens with "furry" cuffs. These are terrific, Mary Anne!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becki! Hopefully the recipient will like them.
DeleteAmazing to be thinking about mittens in July!
ReplyDeleteHah - Christmas in July IS a thing!
DeleteVery cute mittens. I love the fur cuffs.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Hopefully the recipient will like the 'fur'.
DeleteHow do crafty people come up with ideas like those little flowers? (And how many prototypes are cast aside until the idea and instructions are good enough to record and post? LOL.) The cuffs on the mittens will be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI quite often marvel at how people come up with some of the ideas I see online. And how often I say to myself "I could have thought of that" (but you will notice, I didn't!)
DeleteYour mittens are so clever. Who knew the cuff was knitted from yarn. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe faux fur was a tad 'interesting' to knit with but in the end I figured it out.
DeleteSherry of createology: Dear MA…You are so very clever knitting faux fur onto the knitted mittens. You always share such great links and I Thank You. This quote is wonderful. Just the other day while chatting with another woman I stopped talking and gave her a big huge hug which she embraced me with a return big huge hug. No other words were needed. Blessings Dear.
ReplyDeleteHugs are the universal language and one I firmly believe in.
DeleteOoooh, those will be nice and toasty! Love the quote today - added it to my collection.
ReplyDeleteSeems funny to be knitting mittens in the summer heat, but they're small projects and aren't heavy in my lap (so there's a method to my madness!). Glad you liked the quote.
