Join Jill to knit Hold My Beer felted mittens! Sarah's felted mittens design are a quick knit in bulky yarn on size US 10.5 needles. A contrasting color creates whimsical striping to make things fun. After knitting, toss in the washer to felt them, and voila! Warm, snow-proof, frosty-glass-proof mittens! This two-session class will teach you all the steps to knit a mitten, and Jill will discuss felting techniques, which can be applied to other felted projects. These mittens make great gifts!
