Turtle Mitts

Kingsley: Mama, can you make me some turtle mitts?
Me: I have no idea what that is.
Kingsley: But you can make them, right?

And so I picked up some LL worsted superwash and began to create the Turtle Mitt!!
I'm pleased with how they turned out but Kings is over the moon! He wears them everywhere and insisted that I actually make 3 in case he loses one :)

So here is the pattern should your child ever request their very own turtle mitt ;)
