Easy Peasy Crocheted Mittens

Hello crafty people!

A little while ago I got a message from Sara

asking how long it would take for me to make

a pair of mittens.
She and Jaryd had plans for an outdoor 

outing with friends and she could only find one glove.

So, Mom to the rescue!

I happened to have a pair of mittens 3/4 done, but 

didn't have the pattern to finish them.

I went online and found the same pattern and finished

them up that evening for her.

These are crocheted mittens and I made them

double thick by making 4 mittens and putting one 

inside the other and stitching them together at the 

opening.

I got this picture from Jaryd after he took them

home to her.  They are nice and warm for any outdoor

activity.

I also made a pair for Marie, but didn't double them up,

I think doubled would be a bit on the bulky side for

her.

The mittens were such a big hit with 

their friends that Sara told me that Kelsey

would love a pair in olive green.

Since Kelsey is my #2 son's fiance,

how could I not make a pair for her?

After all she's going to be my #2 

daughter in law!

She and Brian came and picked them

up the other day and she was thrilled with them.

Now I'm working on a pair for myself.

These are the easiest mittens to make,

they work up very fast and even with

one layer are very warm.

One skein of worsted weight yarn

can make 2 pair of adults mittens or

one double thick pair.

AND if you make them double thick,

they can be reversible.

If you know how to crochet,

you can make these mittens,

they are easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll give these mittens a try

and come visit me again soon.

Until then,

keep warm!
