Sloe Mittens

The trick to great crochet mittens is getting the stitch for the hands right. It needs to be warm enough, so that your fingers aren’t sticking out through the natural holes in crochet but stretchy enough to allow for movement. These Mittens are made from linked trebles, creating a solid fabric for the coldest days.
