In 1983 a quiet phenomenon captured the attention of knitters all across North America. It came in the form of an unusual and charming book of traditional mitten patterns from Maine. Soon that collection was followed by another. Fox & Geese & Fences, and Flying Geese & Partridge Feet popped up in knitters' baskets everywhere, and handsome, well-fitting, extra warm mittens appeared on hands large and small. Now, in Favorite Mittens the author has selected the best and most popular designs from those two classic books, perfecting the patterns and making her directions even easier to follow.
