I made these in February of 2009 when my sister was pregnant with my nephew. At the time I couldn't find a pattern I really liked, so I made these up. I've seen some added to Ravelry since then.
My sister said she never used these. She said his fingers would poke through the little holes, but I can't remember seeing him with mittens on, ever.
I think this was my first pattern, so I hope everything is right. I hope I’ve used the correct terms. Please let me know if you find something wrong or have any questions.
