Kitten Mittens

I started out intending to make YinYang Kitty Ankle Socks by Inorgaknit but I thought it was a shame to hide the lovely kitty faces inside my shoes or slippers so I made Kitten Mittens instead!


I decided to give them 'flip-tops' because these days you need to be able to use a phone without having to take your gloves off. I am too old to use my thumbs for texting, mind you, so I didn't put flip-tops on the thumbs too!

The original pattern adds the kitty faces and ears using the intarsia method, but I felt this was a bit fiddly working in the round so I added the features afterwards using duplicate stitch.
