Pattern Description:

I originally created this pattern for my 1.5 year old son. It is very difficult to get mittens on his constantly moving hands! They are easy to put on and after you button the closure, more difficult to take off. My 3.5 year old wanted a pair of mittens with pretty buttons too, so this is the resulting pattern. I will be posting the toddler size version in the future.
