C. has been lacking in mittens this winter, so when her one pair got wet I wanted to make her a spare fast!
I skimmed some how-tos online and decided the quickest thing to do was a simple turned hand outline. I used microfleece for the lining, bamboo fleece for the insulating layer, and PUL for the outer. (Thanks, cloth-diaper-making materials!)
I added a bit of elastic at the wrist, and ended up topstitching closed the bottom turning hole.
These mittens are a bit snug to put on, but they work! Next time I want to try adding a cuff containing full elastic for her wrist. I've promised E. a pair of her own gloves, too (of course), and even A. wants a pair for himself, so I'm going to make him some gloves for Xmas -- and try those cuffs!
