Brrr + flurries = Blurry Mittens.

These mittens are sized from tweens to big and make a feature out of a small amount of mohair and an easy two-row chevron pattern just where it counts the most.

Blurry Mittens are knit flat to make it easier to carry warm + blurry mohair yarns just over the back of the hand while the rest of the palm is worked plain, and then the thumbs are knit in the round.
