Owl mittens

These mittens were made from Rico design Essentials Soft Merino, this is my new favourite yarn as it's 100% merino wool and it's not very expensive. It's lovely and soft and a beautiful deep brown colour. I made the owl motif from stitching together some felt and some material I had lying around, I didn't realise how simple it was to stitch this together and will probably start using this technique a lot more often on my knitted designs. On the other mitten is the letter 'A' as it's the initial of the person who I am giving these to. I have some mittens to make for another for another friends birthday in the new year but reckon I'm gonna take a break from mittens for a short while
