These adorable mittens by Melissa LaBarre can be whipped up in a weekend afternoon. In chunky-weight Puffin and featuring garter stitch and the sweetest leaf motifs on both sides, there’s no need to work mirrored “left” and “right” versions—they’ll fit either one and will keep your digits toasty warm.
