Kiss Kiss Mitts

Discover the charming blend of cats, candy, and colorwork in this delightful knitting pattern inspired by my grandmother's warm and cozy creations. Every Christmas, I eagerly anticipated the soft gift she would make for me, usually a pair of thick woolly handknit socks. However, one particular pair of mittens has left an indelible mark on my memories. This pattern captures that essence, featuring colors that evoke one of her favorite candies (and mine!), along with a unique twist at the cuffs that reflects her love of feline friends. These stylish mitts are designed to be worked from the bottom up, integrating a gusset thumb for comfort and functionality. Additionally, the pattern offers two design options, allowing you to personalize your mittens to suit your style. **Finished Measurements:** The mittens measure 9” (23cm) in length and have a 7” (18cm) circumference, perfectly fitting hands with at least an 8 ¼” (21cm) circumference at the knuckles. The thumb gusset measures 3” (7.5cm) in length, providing an excellent fit for ease of movement.
