This is the Tasty Tosh Pattern of the Month for December 2015! The featured color, Dried Fruit, is available just at Jimmy Beans Wool until the color sells out.

These mitts are named for my favorite holiday treat…Stollen. Each year I make a point to special order my Stollen from a local bakery, and we enjoy it with breakfast on Christmas morning…except last year my dog got the Stollen off of the counter and ate the whole loaf himself the little piggy. So sadly no Stollen was had last year. You can bet we’ll be hiding it from hungry dogs this year! :) Hope you enjoy this sweet little holiday knit!
