By special request, mini fingerless mitts. I practically squealed the entire time it took me to make these. They are so cute and tiny and the best part - they took only a little over an hour to make the set. 
Only problem - she thinks they are for ice fishing. I had trouble explaining that hand knit Malabrigo yarn should not come in contact with slimy fish.

Yarn: Malabrigo worsted weight yarn in Melilla (226)
Needles: DPN size US 10 1/2
Size: Ages 2-5, just adjust the length to fit.
Cast on 21 stitches. Knit in the round until they are 3 1/2 inches long (or measure your own little one for thumb placement.) Cast off three stitches. Continue the row. Next row cast on three stitches and continue knitting for 3 rows or until they are the desired length. Use a stretchy bind off (I use this method.) Done!

These are darling! Such pretty yarn. Definitely do not want them tainted with slimy fish ;o)
Those are adorable Roxy! I can't wait to knit with you this weekend!!!
those are just beyond adorable! If i had a little girl I might just have to dig in the closet to find my knitting needles. :)

These are so perfect! I'm trying to learn how to knit, and the first real thing I want to make are these. I only hope they turn out half as cute!
