Janus Mittens
This is a pattern that came up out of the need for a quick, relaxing project to work on right after the Holidays Season. It's the time of year with a lot of plans and projects ahead, so I thought it shouldn't be too time-consuming. Nevertheless, it has to be a fun project, so I added some easy lace pattern for that extra elegant detail. I hope you'll enjoy it as muchasI do!
