Convertibly Cute

If you're looking for a delightful and playful knitting project for your little ones, look no further than this modified version of the ever-popular Fetching fingerless mitts! This child-sized pattern transforms the classic design into versatile convertible mitts or mittens, making it perfect for keeping tiny hands warm during chilly weather. Available in worsted weight yarn, it's an easy and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. You’ll need the original Fetching directions from Knitty, which you can find at http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTfetching.html, to complete this pattern successfully.

This pattern is a creative mash-up that incorporates features from two other beloved designs: the decreases for the mitten top are inspired by Marcia Lewandowski’s Minnesota Mittens, and the charming name pays tribute to the Fetchingly Cute Mittens by Krystal Grams. One of the standout features of this design is the innovative "thumb peephole," which is perfect for little adventurers engaging in activities like flower picking and acorn collecting.

When using the luxurious Karabella Aurora yarn, it is crucial to note that it stretches considerably both when washed and worn. Therefore, taking an accurate gauge swatch is especially important to ensure that your finished mitts fit perfectly. With its mix of functionality and style, this pattern not only keeps children's hands warm but also allows them the freedom to play and explore. Don’t miss the chance to create a beautiful pair of convertible mitts that your kids are sure to love!
