Snowberry Mittens

**Design** Designed to match the [Snowberry Hat][2] from my [Cozy Cables book][3]. Inspired by the frozen berry bushes that decorate the landscape in the snowy Blue Mountains in the Pacific Northwest. 2-stitch cabled branches and bobbles travel along a reverse stockinette background up the center of these mittens. These are worked in the round from the cuff up and feature a thumb gusset. This pattern is charted and includes separate written instructions.
