I love Susie Rogers' Reading Mitts pattern and so do our Ravelry friends with more than 5,700 projects being completed by our fellow knitters. I knit one pair in small to medium size with just one skein of Knitcol color 064. This colorway is remarkably similar to the Seattle Seahawks colors!  Check them out in my Ravelry projects, you are gonna want to knit a pair.

I knit another pair with Juniper Moon Tenzing.  What an amazing yarn!  I just love the halo after blocking the Tenzing yarn. It happens to be one of my favorite all time yarns. Check out this pair in my Ravelry projects.

With Christmas right around the corner this pattern is a quick knit with lot’s of bang for the buck and is sure to please your loved ones on your gift list!
