Description
These delightful mittens make a great first colorwork project. The cuffs are a fun two-color checkerboard, but the hand incorporates color just every four rows. The back-loop only single crochet makes the gloves stretchy enough for a range of hands, but you can make the mittens shorter for smaller hands.
