I just got these pretties off my hook today! They are going to a good home as part of the "Mittens for Detroit" mitten drive. One of my bloggy friends, Kinga from My Hobby is Crochet has a lovely pattern that I have had in mind to make for a while, click below for the free pattern:
Crochet Toddler Mittens Ceyla (Free Crochet Pattern Link)
This was an easy and well written pattern and I had them complete in no time! She includes lots of helpful photos too. I especially love the classic ribbed cuff...
and it has the easiest thumb gusset construction ever!
Thanks Kinga for a great pattern! They are so pretty and warm!
I used about a half skein of Loops and Threads Impeccable in the "Holland" colorway and a J (6.0 mm) hook.
If you are instersted in sending a pair of mittens (knit or crochet) for the charity drive, it is sponsored by Lion Brand Yarn and All Free Knitting and ends on February 14th:

This was a really fun and rewarding project, and I am so happy it will go to someone who really needs some handmade mittens. Happy stitching to you!
