Who needs the absolute coziest mitten that can hold up to outdoor play, shoveling sidewalks & driveways? This mitten incorporates a soft inner liner & cuff with a sturdy felted exterior mitt to keep your hands dry & warm through all your wintery outdoor activities. With sizing from kiddos through adults, keep all your loves warm & dry this winter.
This pattern uses both superwash & non-superwash yarns. It begins with the outer mitten, which has a provisional cast-on. The outer mitten is felted before working the mitten liner. Stitches are picked up from the provisional cast-on, working an extra-long double cuff, then the hand portion of the inner mitten liner.
