Convertable Mittens and Beanie

These convertable mittens and slouchy beanie are an example of  items I knit with Loops & Threads Charisma for my daughter. She chose the yarn. Did I mention my family's favorite color is camoflage? The pattern for the mittens is from bernat.com , here is the link:
http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=4631 . You will need to sign up on their website to access the pattern. Loops & Threads Charisma can be found at Michaels.com or your local Michael's store.

The pattern is listed as an easy for the small size, and intermediate for the medium and large sizes. These are done using the small pattern.  If you are thinking about making gloves but are nervous about fingers, this would be a great pattern to use as a starting point. I also made a pair for my youngest son in the Red Heart Super Saver camoflage, but they are either at the bottom of his locker or in the black hole he calls a room.

The beanie is adapted from a chemo cap pattern I found at lionbrand.com. By using a bulky yarn and larger needle size it worked up into the perfect beanie for my daughter to tuck her long hair up into it.
The link to that pattern is: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0534B.html?noImages=0. The skill level is an easy+, and uses double pointed needles. It is knitted from the top down, and the pattern of increases gives it an interesting look. Enjoy!
