Yes, I know it is already one week into January 2018, Christmas and New Year have come and gone, and I have only just managed to catch up with myself after the holiday season. What about you?

I hope all of you have had a wonderful 2017 year with loads of crocheting under your belt. Hopefully this New Year 2018 you are ready to explore and try new crochet projects, new crochet skills and techniques. Also, may you manage to finish some of those projects which you started last year.

I would love to hear about your crochet plans for this year, you can always share in the comments below or on my Crocknit Facebook page.

XMAS MITTENS CROCHET PATTERN

I have finally managed to complete the instructions for these mittens which I made in December to match the Xmas Hats my darling and I wore at Christmastime.

Xmas Mittens pattern is simply a striped crochet mitten and all you need to know is how to crochet in the round, how to single crochet, how to crochet in front and back loop, and how to change colour every round.

Best of all, you can make these mittens in any colour, they are not just for Christmas, same goes for the Xmas Hat. Choose whatever colour you like, it's always your choice.

These crochet fingerless mittens are cosy and warm and there are still plenty of cold wintry days left for wearing these lovely Aran mittens this winter.

Suggested Yarn

I used the same Aran yarn for these mittens as for the Xmas Hat, Hayfield Bonus Aran with Wool. The Aran colours are Deep Red 830 and Ivory Aran 962.

You can substitute the yarn if you wish, just remember to check the YarnSub website, to get the best match.
