Freya Baby Mittens

 

FREYA Baby Mittens
knitted by Leslie Dick

My Freya Baby Hat is proving to be very popular. Leslie Dick, a member of my facebook group, wanted to knit matching mittens - so she combined a couple of my patterns and came up with these! Well done Leslie - and thank you for being happy to share your instructions with other knitters. A great result :)

Preemie and Angel Babies UK  are a group of people who knit, sew and crochet angel and preemie items to be donated to hospitals for use by 

Angel babies, preemies and newborns.  

The group recently held a competition in their fb group for their members to design and make a 'Chick' Lovie based on my Levi Lovie pattern.  

And these were the worthy winners !
