I found Marnie McLean's "Hooray for Me Gloves" pattern and knew it would be perfect to use up the yarn and make a great gift for T. I followed the advice in the pattern to downsize it to little hands, torturing my 6yo son in the process by making him try them on every five minutes.

Pattern: Hooray for Me Gloves, by Marnie McLean
Yarn: Knitpicks Simple Stripes in Vintage. I believe this has been discontinued, I haven't seen it on their web site in quite a while.
Modifications: Sized down for a 5yo-sized hand. I did a sewn bindoff on all of the fingers.
