While others are making fingerless gloves I made something more suited to the Arctic blast that we are experiencing here in Minnesota. In this kind of weather these are going to be very practical. The pattern was free from fleecefun.com. They are made of black fleece with a gray plaid lining. The design is lilac but it isn't showing up real good. The design is from my folder of hearts so I don't know where I got it.

They are so nice. Thanks for the link.

ces mitaines sont très jolies !

I had the pattern for quite some time too but I am more a glove person. But then this weather hit us and my poor fingers were little numb stubs so I decided it was time for some mittens. They go together very quickly and without the embroidery you could cut your time in half.

lovely gloves

Lovely warm mittens. Love them. Shirley

Nicely done and the embroidery is very pretty too.

a terrific pair of mitts & will be well used in this frigid weather, hugs

These are very pretty and fitting to the current frigid blast. I have even thought of reg finger gloves with finger less over them. Double up. I don't like being restricted hand use. I go out to check on my chickens. But this kind of weather when you go out even for that little fraction of time you know you got to wear gloves or double up on or wear mittens. Thanks for the link I may whip up a pair for GKs.

I have them closed in out of the weather. I did get a egg missed today and it was frozen and cracked.

Your mittens look great. Thank you for sharing the link to get the pattern. I may need to get busy and make some too. They say it is going to be in the 20s here in Florida tomorrow morning. I am not looking forward to that. Stay warm, Susan

Thanks for the warm wishes, I'll trade you my -10 (wind chill -28) for your 20's and send you the mittens as a bonus. LOL

These look great!

très belles mitaines

Love the colour and they are so practical. We've been seeing the dreadful weather all the way over here in Australia. I hope you are all o.k. Love Chris

Thank you. We only go outside when it is absolutely necessary.

Looking at the news of the weather in the states these would be good if you realy had to go outdoors. They look lovely. G

Great idea to thwart the arctic blast we have been experiencing.
