I am still so in love with this yarn. I mean, really, the squishy factor of Red Heart Hygge yarn is amazing. I’ve been making these mittens for my whole family and I can’t stop!

Mittens are my favorite thing to make in the winter. I love that they look so complex and yet they really are easy. I love to experiment with different ribbing techniques and different stitches.

We also had a lot of fun taking these pictures. I got my then nine-year-old to take these pictures for the 30 Days of Cozy hosted on Made With a Twist. I also roped my hubs into being in them with me. He is such a good sport and always willing to go along with whatever idea I’ve cooked up this time! haha!

What about you? What is your favorite item to gift? If you’re intimidated by mittens, I hope you will give these a try. They make a great set of mittens and they aren’t as hard as they look.
