These are
more like general instructions than a pattern but I hope you’ll like it.
They were
Birthday gift for a boy that lives in U.S. and was just visiting Costa Rica,
they can’t carry much stuff, so I thought this will be a good and light gift
for the coming winter.
These are
similar to other pair of cat
mittens I saw in Ravelry, but are
made different.

Then closed
the head gap by knitting 1 stitch from each side together and then casting off as you go until you have 6 st
left in front and 6 on the back so you can procede to make the second ear the
same way than the first one.
