My best friend’s husband, B.J. loves the show It’s Always Sunny in
Philadelphia. He showed us a clip from the show where a guy tries to
sell Kitten Mittons. (And no, I’m not spelling it wrong.)
B.J. loves this segment so much, that you’ll find him laughing to
himself when he thinks about it. So I decided to make his cat some
Kitten Mittons for his birthday. And wouldn’t you know it? There are no knitting patterns
for them. There are the few who made some, but never posted their
pattern. So I found a Baby Booties pattern and adjusted it.

I don’t have a cat. Technically, I don’t have a dog, either. But I
had to test these mittons out. So what you see before you is my parents’
dog, Daisy. Daisy wasn’t too happy being fitted for mittons, but after
she submitted to a state of dejection I eventually got on all four while
laughing hysterically.
