These mittens were inspired by the fantasy novel The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner. They are knit cuff-up from an i-cord edge and twisted two color ribbing. Designed with handspun 2-ply sport weight wool yarn, they are a great way to use small yardages of special fibers to keep hands warm when strolling through the winter woods!
