Meadow Frost Mittens are a reasonably quick knit and great for those new to stranded colourwork as there are only two colours. The design was accidental when I was playing about with a chart for something else, but I felt it worked well for mittens. The floats on the inside make this cosy pair extra toasty for winter.
