The Shaadi Mitts got the better of me so I decided to knit another pair of Shirl’s Mitts for my daughter.
I started them while waiting for our plane to take off on our way to visit her and finished them a few days later. It’s hard to knit with three grandkids all wanting one’s attention.
Cleckheaton Country 8 ply yarn in color 2250. They call it light green but I’d call it pistachio. I believe this color has been discontinued.
Final one. Red Heart With Love in Mango and Caron Simply Soft in Pistachio (I think).
Three hats.
Same “pumpkin” color.
Three different greens for three different children.
Another one.
Red Heart with Love (worsted weight) in Mango,unknown acrylic yarn in a bright green using Drops Extra pattern 0-966.
Since the with Love yarn is worsted and the pattern calls for a DK weight, I used size 5 (US) needles on this hat and made it a bit larger using the 90 stitch directions even though the first hat I made followed the 96 stitch directions. The larger needles and fewer stitches resulted in a larger hat.
Two down, one more to go!
