Easy Crochet Mittens

crocheting

These baby mittens are so quick and easy to make. Although this is an easy crochet mittens pattern it can be easily adapted for the more advanced crocheter by missing out the first row and adding an edging in its place.

If you don't like the twisted cord, you can use ribbon instead or a length of plaited yarn.
