These wooly warm mittens were supposed to have been released a long time ago. I was meant to have brought them to you directly. Or if you’re in the Southwest…

Dreckly An unspecified time, later. Dreckly is something that you will get around to at some point in the future, or possibly never.

Randomly placed stripes of varying widths look great in these crochet mittens.

This is a written pattern and comes in two downloads for US & UK terms.
