Bellagio Mitts

So here is my latest knitting pattern. I made my hubby some mittens to wear on the days he works outside. He needs the use of his thumbs so there is a little thumb flip top too. This is a totally original pattern and I am no proud of it. I never made mitten before all I looked up was how to put in a thumb. ;) Clever me! I used FrogTree Worsted Merino, a very nice single spun yarn very soft. Hubby says sometimes they are too warm. ;) Good thing he can flip the top back and cool off. Of course here in Vegas we aren't exactly in sub zero conditions. I sewed on some leather glove palms from Elann they didn't have black, so I used grey. Would have liked black better. He has to pick stuff up all day so I didn't want the nice mittens wearing out. ;)

I will look over the pattern to make sure it is ok soon and post a link. I would have emailed everyone directly but so far I can't figure out how to do that?
