Long northern winters demand cozy mittens! Thrummed mittens combine the warmth of traditional wool mittens with the extra insulation of wool fleece. These mitts are stuffed with a generous amount of fleece and use a clever insertion technique to lock the thrums securely inside the mitts.

The thrums are inserted in a staggered pattern, which looks pretty on the outside, but also ensures that they are evenly distributed to create a fleecy lining inside the mitts. The thrums will eventually matt together to create a dense fabric which is warm, snug and comfortable.

The pattern includes tutorials for preparation and insertion of thrums.

A kCDesigns version of this pattern, already set up for use with KnitCompanion, is available on Create2Thrive.
