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.
Supplies Needed:
Yarn – Knit Picks, Chroma in Worsted (I used the Paperback color-way)
Size I crochet hook
Tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends
Stitches Used:
SL ST – Slip Stitch

Round 1 – CH 1, SC in joining CH, mark with stitch marker. SC in each CH around.

*From this point on, work in continuous rounds, moving stitch marker each round.
