The earliest known mittens date back over <strong>1,000 years<\/strong>, discovered in Viking settlements. They were typically made from wool or leather and valued for their ability to trap heat more effectively than fingered gloves. The design hasn\u2019t changed much since then, proving that sometimes the simplest ideas are the most enduring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to Stitch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Download your free pattern and thankfulness cards below by entering the password.
