Prairie Mittens.
These mitts have some fun details.
Interesting texture.
Garter palm.
Picot hem.
I made a couple slight modifications. I started with a provisional cast on. I prefer this method. When it was time to fold the hem, I took the waste yarn out to expose the live stitches and used those to complete the hem.
I used a smaller needle than the pattern calls for. This created a denser fabric, but it also made the mittens a little shorter. I added ten more rounds of the pattern repeat to make up the difference.
With so much variety, these mittens are a fairly quick knit. The yarn is Lucia DK held with Shimmer, both in March Sky. The Shimmer (mohair and silk) adds a nice soft halo and makes a warm, cozy pair of mittens.

The color and the halo on those mittens are making me fantasize about a cowl in that combination. Wow! I bet the stitch pattern would be good for a cowl too.
Great post, this guide helped me a lot, along with this finest brands of heated glove liners for skiing article also helps more.
