The half double crochet ribbing featured on these mittens is one of my favorites to wear and to create.

Mittens are made with Lion Brand Wool-ease, which is 20% wool and 80% acrylic. It has a wonderful warm and stretchy quality and a slight fuzzy haze. You can substitute another heavy worsted or aran weight yarn if you would like (be sure to check your gauge and make adjustments if needed by adjusting your tension or changing hook sizes).
