I actually finished these several weeks ago but didn't think to take a picture because I was knitting them to replace loathed "one size fits all" cotton-poly stretch gloves in my coat pockets. I went straight from binding off to using them! They're cozy and kind of springy against the steering wheel as I drive.
Lightly adapted (in sizing and cuff length) from The World's Simplest Mitten pattern at Tin Can Knits. These are made from worsted weight yarn that I moved unused from state to state for over a decade: nice to let it enjoy its fabric destiny at last. shawl knit in Cascade 220, modified from Jennifer Jones's great and very flexible basic semicircle shawl pattern
I couldn't find patterns that produced figures in the sizes, yarn weights, techniques, and aesthetic I had in my head, so I worked up my own approach for this sweet orange cat who still sits on my bookshelf--the pattern I use now as the base shape for most of the creatures I knit. Good kitty.
