The mitten on the left is the large adult size from The World’s Simplest Mittens. The mitten on the right is the toddler size. Gauge matters, people.
I’m going to donate the bigger pair so a child can have nice warm hands, and I think I’ll turn the little ones into tree ornaments somehow. If they were made of something more easily washable I might have sent them down to my 3-month-old niece because they would probably fit her fine!
Despite the sizing issues I am really pleased with them. I probably could have faffed with the yarn a bit more to get a thinner red stripe on the big mitten thumb, but I’m pleased that both pairs match pretty much perfectly. I count this as a job (fairly) well done.

That WYS yarn looks good in these cute mittens, I machine wash all my hand knit socks and WYS is included in that so they are easily washable. They’ve all been machine washed since day 1 and washed many times.

They are both very cute. Nice job! I just finished my first mitten for my garland, and oh my goodness it’s tiny. I’m going to need to knit more to even be able to see them!
