Christmas gift along - A p r i l

The April gift is another "sock yarn mitten pattern balaclava". The first one was for a big headed four year old, this one is for a little boy who'll turn two this summer. I hope it will fit. Otherwise, maybe a little brother or sister can wear it later on.

I used two different mitten patterns for this hat: The tree pattern is from Tree Mittens, Vogue Knitting winter 2010. The birds in the tree is from "Bird Mitten Chart", a free pattern by Hanneke Sieben. You can download it from her Ravelry shop.

The yarn is handpainted sock yarn from Ninukka and Black Cat Fibres (etsy shops).
