There’s nothing like a fleece sweatshirt to keep you cozy when it’s really cold, and mittens knit out of fleece yarn can keep your hands just as warm when it’s cold outside.

These simple fleece mittens are a perfect introduction to mitten knitting for people who’ve never knit mittens before. For those with some experience, they’re a super quick project you could probably complete in an evening.

Either way these bright and cozy warmers are sure to get your through cold days in comfort, and maybe even with a smile on your face.
