“Drifted Mittens” takes your basic mitten pattern & adds some interesting design surprises. The drifting rib suggests the snowdrifts of a mid-winter’s day, and the appliqued snowman owes his rotund shape to some tiny cables. A coordinating hat pattern is also available. Malabrigo Chunky is a great choice for sturdy, warm mittens.
