Smooriken mittens

**Snuggle Up with Smooriken Mittens: A Cozy Knitting Pattern for Kids** When our children were little, we created a heartfelt bedtime tradition to keep the scary monsters at bay! We would blow 1,000 kisses into the air, encouraging them to catch the kisses in their hands and tuck them under their pillows for comforting reassurance throughout the night. In Shetland dialect, 'Smooriken' means a kiss, and these delightful mittens are infused with love and affection to embody this sweet sentiment. Our Smooriken Mittens are not only a joy to knit but also a warm hug for little hands. If you take a closer look, you might even spot a playful smiley monster hidden among the kisses! These charming mittens are knitted from cuff to tip entirely in the round, ensuring a seamless and cozy fit for your little ones. What makes this pattern even more accessible is the addition of an afterthought thumb, allowing for a clean and easy design. If you’re unfamiliar with this knitting technique, don’t worry—an informative hyperlink is included in the pattern to guide you through the process. Perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, the Smooriken Mittens not only keep small fingers warm but also bring a sense of joy and security to bedtime. Knitting these mittens is a wonderful way to create lasting memories, just like our bedtime kissing game.
