2023 Version
Ah – the anticipation of a snow day! Snow falling steadily outside, piling on the ground. People excitedly anticipate whether school or work is on – or if you get to spend a cozy day at home. Before stepping out into the cold to take a walk, shovel snow, or build a snowman, you must be sure to bundle up! What could be better than a matching hat and mitten set that features faux-flakes to celebrate a snow day? These mitts are just as warm and cozy as before, but reimagined for 2023, we’ve added a larger size for the mittens and adjusted the yarn to a frosty shade of blue.
