Don rarely wants me to make him anything, even when I ask him if I can, so when he asked me to make him a pair of Red Star Mittens as a holiday present of course I said yes! And I think they came out great.
The pattern I used was the Basic Men's Mitten pattern from Knit with KT, which is also the first mitten pattern I ever knit when I made Don a pair of mittens a couple years ago.
I was going to try to teach myself stranded colorwork with these mittens and designed my own colorwork chart for them and everything, but when I tried it I got so frustrated that I pulled all the knitting I had done so far out and started over with the plan to sew red stars onto the black mittens. Someday I'll learn colorwork, I just won't be overambitious again and try to teach myself on a project I also designed.
Here are the Red Star Mittens on ravelry too!
