Felted Mittens pattern

“If you've ever been turned off to wearing mittens because the wind flows through them, these are the answer! These are toasty warm and are great for making snowballs. Also, a good first mitten because the stitches are large enough to see them easily and all mistakes are covered up when they are felted!” ~Joan
