Crafts and Crafting: Iron Man mitts

I went to see Iron Man 3 this past weekend and these just had to be done in honour of the event:

How freaking adorable, right?

I used this pattern – with a few alterations. I forgot to pick up blue yarn so I just substituted felt for the power circles. Yarn would definitely have looked better.

I also joined the cuff together using a simple slip stitch, which I think worked just as well. The only part of the pattern that I didn’t really like was the slip stitch at the top of the glove. I think reducing would have worked better.

This is a very good pattern, though, overall. I’ll probably use it again in the winter.
