The wonderful pirate mitten pattern available free from http://www.helloyarn.com/piratemittens.htm has been flying off my needles lately! Black and white for me, red and white for my teenage daughter, and I reworked the pattern a bit to create fingerless gloves for a barrista at the local bookstore!
I used Jo Sharp DK wool and #5 needles. I had to decrease the stitches in the 1x1 rib cuffs, then I increased just before the chart, so everything worked.
