When I received the yak down yarn from Bijou Basin, the creamy color just begged to be made into warm mittens, with snow flakes floating down the back of the hand.

Of course, you can always come up with your own design by placing the “snow” stitches in squares, diamonds, or evenly spaced for a more solid pattern. I’ve even provided you with graphs so you can chart out your own design!

Plus, if you prefer a fingerless version (or only have one skein of the yak yarn) I’ve included modified instructions at the bottom of the pattern.
