Silent Night Mittens is a stranded colorwork design featuring a winter scene. The mittens have an afterthought thumb construction. The design works equally well with dark on light or light on dark. Some sections of the design (the front part of the mittens) require you to carry yarn over longer stretches of one color; therefore, it is recommended that you utilize a float catching technique.
