Merino mittens

The kids always need more mittens, so I want to find a good pattern.

I've tried to knit back and forth, I figure that it is quicker for me than to knit in the round. These mittens are made based on a pattern from an old book I found. I used extra fine merino wool, 28 stitches per 10 cm.

I'm, however, not impressed with the fit. The search will continue.
