Smooriken mittens

When our children were small we used to play a game with them at bedtime to keep the scary monsters away! We used to blow 1000 kisses into the air and get them to catch them in their hands then pop them under their pillows to give them reassuring kisses if they needed them during the night. ‘Smooriken’ is Shetland dialect for a kiss and these mitts are covered in love and kisses to reflect this. If you look closely you may see a smiley monster too! The mittens are knitted cuff to tip entirely in the round. An afterthought thumb is added and a hyperlink is included in the pattern if you are u familiar with this technique.
