Breathe Deep

March 14: Started first mitten this morning.

March 15: Finished first mitten and cast on for the second. I’m up through the cuff on that one now.

March 16: Finished! A really great fit. I knitted the first one (left) using DPNs and the second (right) using Magic Loop. The ML one seems a little looser but they still fit well. (I was testing to see which way I liked knitting them better - I think ML won for these.)

I picked up 3 stitches for the thumb rather than the 2 it called for since just the 2 would have left me with quite a gap. All in all, I’m very pleased with how they turned out and I absolutely love the fall colors in this yarn.

Pattern: Breathe Deep
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted in Stonechat
