Autumn Mitts

Don't you just love
Fingerless Mitts?!
I do!
And I am loving this pattern from
the book
Crochet
 One - Skein Wonders.
Although they are shown here on my hands,
I actually crocheted this pair for my oldest daughter
Hilary.
I originally bought this skein of sock yarn to knit her a pair of socks.
Somehow that didn't happen...
But when I found this pattern I knew what the yarn was truly for!
Hilary LOVES fingerless mitts.
And the beautiful Fall colors suit her perfectly.
I always enjoy finding new and different things to make
from all the gorgeous sock yarns that are available.
So...
one pair just wasn't enough!
Funny thing is~
this pair's being modeled by Hilary
but it's for sale on my
One of my favorite things about these lovely little mitts is
the pretty scalloped edge that just naturally
happens at the top.
OH!
And I have quite a stash of beautiful
hand painted
sock yarns.
{It only takes one skein to make 2 pairs}
As always, I get plenty of help.

Hmmm.....
who else needs a pair of these?
