Manly Mitts Crochet Pattern
My hubby was in sore need of a new pair of fingerless mitts to ward off the chilly weather we have been having. The last pair I made him was rather obnoxiously made out of his favorite super bulky yarn, which made them end up looking like a pair of boxing gloves! After looking around for a manly mitt pattern, I decided to just make one up. Here is the result. I have to admit, I love the ribbing texture on these. It is so nice that I might have to make me a pair as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments on the pattern.
