Snowberry Mittens

Arranged in charming clusters and punctuated with tiny flashes of red, plump bobbles give our Snowberry Mittens their fanciful beauty. Just one skein of our gorgeous Irish tweed Hedgerow yarn makes any size, from kids to grown-ups. Knit a pair for everyone you love!

Stockinette mittens with rolled edges, a thumb gusset, and a rounded tip make a simple backdrop for spirited bobbles, created with an ingenious no-turn bobble technique you’re going to appreciate. The adult mitten sizes are bedecked with bobble clusters, while the kid size has a simplified arrangement. Either way, a few embroidered stitches at the center of each cluster add a welcome pop of color!

With its own storied heritage, Hedgerow is just the right yarn for these mittens, giving them the character of a treasured vintage knit. Made in County Donegal, this worsted-weight yarn comes from one of the county’s last producers of Irish tweed yarns. We worked with this special mill to create a merino-cashmere-silk blend with a softer feel than is strictly traditional, but still with appealing toothiness and rustic beauty.

Every color of Hedgerow is speckled with small bits (or “burrs”) of fiber that polka-dot the yarn. Even this Heirloom White is full of unexpected yellows, pale blues, and creams, bringing little surprises to every stitch.

A beautiful pair of Snowberry Mittens will keep your loved one’s hands and heart warm all winter long… Pick up a skein of Hedgerow for everyone on your gift list and cast on!
