Alrighty, I'm retarded- I didn't realize that the URL didn't change when I was searching for this pattern.  Stupid Joann!

So whatever, under the cut you will find the actual pattern.

If you are wanting to go to the actual site, scroll down to the bottom of the joann.com homepage and you'll see the link for free knit and crochet patterns- just search for Santa mittens.  However, they have a whole host of neat patterns, especially good ones for those new to crochet or wanting to pick it up as a hobby.
