The Mitten Handbook (Abrams Books, 2017) acts as an instructional manual for knitting custom mittens. Author Mary Scott Huff encourages knitters to create their own unique mittens by combining different versions of individual components including thumbs, cuffs, tops, and edgings. Additionally there are 20 complete patterns for traditional mitten instructions.

Snow Day Pattern

Fair Isle knitting has such irresistible charm. Snowflakes in shades of blue and gray decorate these cuffs, reminding us of times when school got canceled and we played in the snow. Declare your own snow day, and give the drifts the attention they deserve.
