Double knitted children's mittens

For knitting these double children's mittens 100% Tuvinian dog underfur with addition of goat underfur was used. This combination of natural materials gives soft, fluffy and elastic yarn that fits perfectly to such children's accessories as mittens where softness is important. The underfur is spinned with sewing reinforced thread and rubbered into 2 threads.

The distinguishing characteristic of these children's mittens consists of having backing (undercloth), that makes them double and twice as warm. The undercloth is knitted of light merino wool mixture, this is important for children's works where softness is required. At the same time dog wool keeps warmth well. The ribbing is also knitted double, i.e. undercloth starts with palm. The length of ribbing is 5 cm, consequently it can be easily tucked under sleeves of outdoor clothes, keep wrist in warmth that is also of no small importance for children's accessories.

These children's mittens are knitted with 'tail' pattern. It has some advantages. Firstly, it looks great. 'Tail' pattern will adorn every work if yarn is straight, not thick, and a work is knitted closely. But there is another advantage - 'tail' pattern implies combination of front and back side mashes which creates ribbing effect. It's one of the best choices for mittens, fingerless gloves, gaiters, knee socks and other tight-fitting works. A hand can be narrow and wide of the same size. This means mittens knitted with 'tail' pattern will fit for both variants. This point is of no small importance for any knitted work.

The work doesn't have any signs of dog wool smell, as it has two stages of washing: firstly the yarn itself is washed, then the finished work goes washing. I don't use cutted wool, only underfur.
