Give my Frosted Post Mitten a try. The bold cherry red color of this adorable mitten design is a great choice for eye-catching gloves that are hard to misplace. Plus, they will match the rosiness of your cheeks when it’s chilly outside! These handy gloves work up quickly and are sure to keep your hands warm and cozy.
Crochet post stitches really elevate your projects, and these mittens are no exception. The post stitches just look so much nicer than plain single or double crochet stitches. In addition to their fantastic texture, post stitches are also stretchier, so these gloves will fit a wider range of hand sizes. That makes them perfect for gift giving – tis the season!
