It would be a good story if I could say that the mate to this lovely mitten was lost.
No. It was never begun. This Dale of Norway baby mitten measures 4.5"(11.5cm) x 2"(5cm). The pattern (modell nr. 3) is from the 1994 Dale Baby Collection (nr. 60) magazine. I've put the pattern in this album on a later page.
The little charmer was knit with Baby Dale yarn and intended for my third child (in 1994). It still awaits a happy ending twelve years later. I've got the yarn, and in my defense she was colicky and I did finish her lovely Norwegian sweater while bobbing her up and down in a BabyBjorn. Good intentions are sometimes just that. But, I swear, I will finish the second mitten before she becomes a teenager.
I want a pair just like the mittens in this screenshot from the opening ceremonies.
I made the dolls during our quiet time in Wisconsin a few years ago... even the hats, but that is a story for another day.
I knit this pair of mittens for myself. My black coat has tight cuffs and I designed the mossy cuff to go over them.

My mom got the surprise this Christmas of a pair of Sami mittens that I knit for her. The colors are my rebellion against the traditional colors of red, white, and blue. My thanks to friend Dedi for getting me to pull out my needles and stash of Heilo yarn. I used a pattern for this pair found in the wonderful book: Folk Mittens by Marcia Lewandowski.

The pattern knit up too long for my mother's hands, so I modified the design at the top. I also left off the tassels because I couldn't braid them to look the way I wanted, and I rationalized that Mom wouldn't be taking the mittens off to tie them to her belt while she adjusted reindeer harnesses anyway.
This sweet pair of mittens measures 4"(10cm) x 2 1/4"(6cm).
I knit them for my son back in 1992. Amazingly, not only my son, but the two daughters that followed wore them and they are intact and ready for that shadow box I never get around to. Now we lose a pair of mittens every week, but those are the generic nylon type bought at REI.
Baby mittens like these are a fantastic way to become brave about knitting in the round, two-color knitting and knitting mittens in general. No thumbs! Thumbs are not to be feared, but they do add complexity.
This pair of mittens is my pattern. Perfect for my 10 year old daughter. Knit the mitten body first. Then pick up stitches at the cuff with a crochet hook.
The mitten body was knit alternating two balls of multi-color yarn. Doing that made the mittens warm and the color more interesting.
For the cuff, I purled a doubled strand of the pale gold fur.
Liv wanted mittens that went with her Hanna Andersson parka and she wanted them to be soft. I figured out a way to combine Kaffe Fassett worsted wool with a gaudy fleece yarn and the results are fantastic.
