This Sublime yarn is super stretchy and soft enough to wear next to your skin.

According to the yarn band, it is dk weight - 22 sts per 4 ins. I used a smaller needle size and knitted to 26 sts and the knitted fabric is still nice & soft.

Mittens as hand puppets that can talk to one another.

Look, mama, it's a 'bad guy' hat!
