Pattern
Dappled Mitts by Shirley MacDonald - ravelry link http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dappled-mitts
Materials
Baa Ram Ewe Titus, Eccup (dark green) (0.55 skeins = 176.0 meters (192.5 yards), 55 grams)
3mm hook
Notes
Took a while to get the hang of the slst, ch 1 stitch pattern, but found the construction very clever. Short rows work well in slip stitch and the thumb and wrist fit very comfortably.
Using thinner wool than pattern so added 6 stitches to total length, but number of rows worked out same as pattern apart from adding 2 extra slst rows to each side of thumb.
For Fiona at SPS (whose hands are slightly smaller than mine.)
