Wassail Mittens
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand’ring
So fair to be seen.
And good tidings to you
And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.
This mitten design was inspired by traditional Norwegian and Fair Isle patterns. With prancing reindeer and waddling plump geese, these mittens are the perfect accompaniment to a cold snowy day and a chilly starry evening, with a warm mug of mulled wine by a cozy fire.
