I was determined to get these mittens finished for a St. Patrick's Day post. It's the
Irish Hiking Mittens!

A great, easy and free pattern by
iknit2purl2. These mittens whip up in a snap!

I used just one skein of Cascade 220 Heathers and some US Size 6 dpns.

I knit them over the coarse of a month, but really I think it took about one day per mitten.
While I finished them yesterday and it was 60F here, at least they will be ready for next winter. :)
Happy knitting and Happy St. Patrick's Day! I will be partying it up at my parent's house, eating corned beef and cabbage, as is the tradition in the Hansen household.
