This is the perfect season for warm, cozy mittens! This version uses a technique called thrumming, which adds sections unspun fiber into the fabric of a knitted piece to add a layer of toasty warm softness to the inside of the garment. When viewed from the outside, the thrums give the look of little hearts…perfect for February knitting!
