SNEAK PEAK: Spud & Chloë Pack O’ Puppies Mitts

Recently, I was asked to use my “Mad Crochet Skillz” to edit and test a pattern for Spud & Chloë’s Fall 2010 line – and my finished little puppy mitts were used as the official pattern photo!  Remember THIS POST about some super yummy yarn?  This is what it was all for.

Excuse me while I celebrate for a second:  squuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! 

Just look at these things!  They are so silly, cute and fun – and in Spud & Chloë yarn?  WOW!  Just wow!  The colors of this line of yarn are beyond amazing and so much fun!

The pattern is really easy to follow, and the mitts come in two different sizes (baby/toddler and bigger kiddo).  Each one took me about an hour and half to make up and then another 1/2 hour or so to put together.  They were great fun and I will definitely be making a ton more of these!  And: SCRAPS of yarn are enough here – I think you can 4 or 5 pairs out of one hank of yarn (at LEAST) for the main body pieces.  

Look for the pattern after TNNA, and I am sure that the Spud & Chloë site will link up to where the pattern is available.  I am so happy that I get to spill these beans! I’m not so good at keeping secrets, and this has been a hard one, for sure!
