I grew up on Churchill Avenue and it was widely known in the city that at Christmas time you could drive around to various neighborhoods to see the immense decorations on Lollipop Lane, Santa Clause Curve, Reindeer Lane and the churches on Churchill. My father organized a large group of neighborhood men to build replicas of a church he grew up near in Long Lake, South Dakota. 50 years later, on beautiful snowy nights in Sioux Falls people still dim their lights, crack their windows, and drive very slowly up Churchill Ave to see the spectacle.

PATTERN NOTES:
This is a checklist pattern; each row is written out for ease of execution. The mitten is worked in corrugated stockinette stitch which is similar to but NOT ribbing and has a bit of give but is tighter than traditional stockinette stitch due to the stranding of the yarn across the back of the work.

Requires 2 colors and uses: 1 skein worsted weight solid/tonal yarn AND 1 skein worsted highly variegated yarn; approximately 100 (150, 180, 190, 200) total yards per pair
