The pattern for this came from "Simple Knits, Mittens & Gloves," pattern "Magic Mitten Gloves". When I got the book, I decided that these were so adorable that all of my little nieces and nephews needed to have these. I knit 10 of them in time for the Hannukah/Christmas season, each one a bit different. (I didn't quite make it, so my own kids got theirs in January.)

This pair is in Patons Kroy Socks Yarn, color Blu Striped Rag, which I doubled to make thick enough for the pattern. I shortened the length of the hand and the flap to fit 5 year old hands, although as you can see they are still in use at age 9. I also added a flap on the thumb, because little thumbs get cold in the winter. I knit this in the round (the pattern knits it flat) using size 3 for the rib and size 6 for the rest.
