A few weeks ago, I showed you my wonderful new Felix cardigan in Noro Cyochin. I started with seven skeins of Cyochin and had a little over two left after finishing the sweater. I decided to use up the yarn on a hat and mitts.
I used my go-to hat pattern, First Snow, but added some ribbing and another repeat to the circumference. (That’s a Ravelry link for the pattern.) I also added an extra repeat to the length.
Then I used Tin Can Knit’s free mitten pattern, The World’s Simplest Mittens, and got two pairs of mittens out of the rest. (That’s another Ravelry link.)
The pompom is from Yarnspirations. It’s the Bernat one in Black Mink.
They look so nice in the sunshine on this winter day!

I love those colors. The tin can knits mitten pattern is one I plan to knit some day. I seem to have second mitten syndrome just as bad as second sock syndrome, so I am always hesitant to cast on another pair of anything – haha. Yours turned out great!
It’s a really good pattern – easy to follow with all the sizes and weights. It’s become my new go-to mitten pattern.
Maybe try some self-striping yarn, like the Noro. That always keeps me going because I want to see how it looks next. 🙂
Do you have a source for the First Snow pattern? It looks like a great hat and it’s been discontinued on Ravelry. Thx.
It is a great pattern and it was free for a while, but evidently it’s not available anymore. 😦 I don’t have another source. Maybe email the designer???
