Warm and nice :)
It's basically the simple fingerless mittens but with a more interesting knitting pattern. Perfect pattern btw for a beginner, it has many different stitches in it and it's a great way to practise them, cause it's just a 6 row pattern.

Step 1
The cat's paw pattern is a very popular pattern (it's simple and pretty :)).
I'm gonna start with it and I will tell you later about the measurements, cause are based on the pattern for this project.

Cast on. Knit 2 rows.
Row 1: k3, *k1, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, k2togtbl, k1. Repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 2 and 4: k3, p to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 3: k3, *k2tog, yo, k3, yo, k2togtbl. Repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 5: k3, *k2, yo, k3tog, yo, k2. Repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
Row 6: k3, p to last 3 sts, k3.
End with a 5 row, knit 2 rows.
Step 2
When you start casting on remember:
1)the stitches you'll cast on is gonna be the length of your mitten.
2)it's a 7 stitches pattern with 6 additional stitches in the beginning and the end of every row. So you need to cast on 13 or 20 or 27 or 34 and so on...(just add 7 stitches until you like the length.I think mine was 55 stitches long.)
Because it's mittens you are free to adjust the measurements to your hand. For the ones i made, I started from the bottom of the fingers to 4-5 inches from the elbow.
Step 3
Repeat the pattern until you are satisfied with the width.
Be carefull: when you try it around your hand remember to stretch it a bit (not too much!!)because you need it ON your hands and not falling off them when you'll be wearing it.
Cast off.
Step 4
Join one side to the other with the tapestry needle, remembering to leave a hole for your thumb. A pretty nice video on how to do that is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvNWmpW9DOw
And that's it!! Gorgeous, lacy mittens made of wool! Enjoy!
