These mittens were designed for an 18 month old boy. They are worked in the round in DK yarn with icords for the horns and a double layered frill for the collar. These are sewn on after the main mittens have been knitted. The facial features are embroidered with scraps of yarn.
Sizes range from the small ones in the photograph (10cm long and 12 cm wrist circumference) to the largest size which would measure 15cm x 14cm circumference at wrist.
They take a matter of hours to knit and so make an excellent last minute gift
