    that can be used in our  Pocket Advent Calendar. Join us in making all 24 or just
    pick and choose your favorites.)

    This week’s ornament is for the knitters out there, a teeny, tiny pair of mini
    mittens.

    These little 2 1/2 inch mittens are perfect to hang on the tree, decorate packages or hang from that bottled hostess
    gift.
    This is definitely a project for the intermediate knitter who is comfortable with working a small number of stitches on
    double-pointed needles. Adding in a colorwork snowflake chart takes it up another notch, but these would look cute
    with or without that addition. If you want some practice knitting small items on small double-pointed needles, why not
    try our Tiny Toques first.
