A fun, simple pattern, the Cozy in the Mountains Mittens are thick, warm, and cozy. The design is minimalistic with a touch of interest using a large off-centered cable on the back of each hand. The knit is very quick and enjoyable, making it a perfect gift knit.

The pattern is worked cuff up in the round and includes instructions for adjusting the mitten length if desired. Learn more about the design inspiration, knitting experience, and wearing experience here.
