At last, the mitten ornament pattern!

***Please note that a new version of this pattern is now available here. ***


Thank goodness Todd answers requests for online support. It's not exactly what I had envisioned, but I've finally managed to post the instructions and pattern for the mitten ornaments: page 1 and page 2. If you right click on the images and select "save picture as," you can print the files in a reasonable quality. Sorry that printing the pattern is more complicated than I had hoped.

I've also created a Flickr set with photos and instructions showing each of the steps in case my written instructions aren't clear.

If you make an ornament and would like to share it, I've set up a mitten ornament group on Flickr. I'd love to see what you've made. Cheers!

  4. Thank you for doing all that work to get us the pattern. One of the main reason for me to start a blog was so that I would learn how to use the computer better. Glad you are learnig too, I feel less alone.

  8. These are adorable. I think I was thinking mittens at the same time as you -- maybe you had mentioned this some time ago and it stuck in my head? I don't know. I spent last Monday making a mitten garland -- not quite ornaments, but same idea. Yours are lovely.

  9. These are darling-thanks for the pattern! I see myself making lots of personalized mittens for my neighbors...which is great, because I've been wanting to do something, but everything I'm thinking of isn't really practical for so many people. Thanks!

  12. I know this is sort of out of the blue but I found a magazine clipping that someone had cut out and it was this mitten ornament. I kept the scrap of paper and decided to try and make something like it for Christmas. Well, my first attempt failed and I ran out of time to try again before Christmas. Anyway, today I happened upon this post and was so delighted to find the instructions. Thank you, they are so great, I can't wait to make them!

  13. Something a bit off topic: You have a new header pic! Great! We've got a very similar puzzle here - it's great fun combining the different pieces.

    Very good idea as well to use them this way.
