The other day my husband was saying that we were missing Santa hats in our household - that we didn't have even one and that we should get one. Of course I agreed and thought what better way to get one in the house than make one. Did I make one? No! Of course not! That would actually make sense. Haha!

Instead I made mittens and I wrote a pattern for them! These mittens are made from super soft velvety yarn and Bernat blanket yarn which both by themselves are dreams. Together they are warm and silky smooth.

Does this mean I won't make a Santa Hat? Heck no! I plan on making one just as soon as I go get some more of that beautiful velvet yarn. I ran out making these mittens. Make sure you subscribe so that you don't miss out when I post that free pattern!
