The Dream Crochet Mittens Pattern Guide.
Hello there! This is 12 year old make, that I wanted to revisit after finding one of my mittens. I cannot believe it’s been a whole decade since I created them, so since I’ve been on the path of refreshing, & reimagining. These handmade Crochet Winter Accessories were the first on that list! Hope you truly enjoy this blast from the past, fun and Free crochet pattern to make!
Original Introduction: Here is a free crochet pattern, I have created to make these handmade crochet mittens which are also available for purchase for those who are interested! I have been making mittens like crazy and I wanted to share just how I made them. With the chilly season of Winter approaching, (Winter is Coming! :p) it's such a cute way to keep your hands warm.
There are more designs that I have centered around mittens, but here is one of my favorite designs I have come up with that I thought I would share.
