Beginner Friendly Mittens
"This pattern uses a super simple and beginner friendly construction for the body and thumb, resulting in some satisfyingly chunky and warm mittens. I suggest making the mittens with Lion Brand Wool-ease, which is 20% wool and 80% acrylic. It has a wonderful warm and stretchy quality and a slight fuzzy haze. You can substitute another heavy worsted or aran weight yarn if you would like (be sure to check your gauge and make adjustments if needed by adjusting your tension or changing hook sizes). "
