Toasty Dad Reversable Mittens

It is so hard to find something to knit for the guys in our lives. You offer one project after another and all you hear from them is 'no'. Well, I am happy to say that I knit the Urban Necessity Gloves by Colleen Michele Meagher for my Dad's birthday. My husband didn't even give me grief when I asked him to try them on. :^)

Knit in Bamboo Ewe by Stitch Nation-Debbie Stroller. 2 grey, 1 Twilight and 1 Perewinkle. This will felt a bit, so hand wash/fry flat.


Even with all the fingers knit seperately, this was a fun and easy pattern to understand. I am going to make a pair for my Mom switching the colors around for her, she loves blue. Oh, and you know who said that he may even wear them!

I would change to smaller needles when making the flap ribbing. It was a bit loose and would be better if it had more elasticity. I have also seen where a button is added on the top of the hand by the ribbing to secure the flap when kept open. I may do that for my next pair.
