I am racing, ya’ll! I’m racing to publish all the wintery and cold-weather patterns I have on my calendar. Some of them will probably need to wait until fall (I have some super fun things planned for this fall!), but I started designing these Crochet Color Block mittens before Christmas and could never find a time to fit them in. They deserve to be shared this winter, so that’s what I decided to do.

I would definitely call myself a mitten novice. Mittens are not something I have made many times nor designed many times, so the technique on these might be different for you. I found it to be the most logical and seamless way of making a thumbhole, but you will have to share your opinion with me.

It’s a good thing the thaw is coming. It’s been my experience that crochet mittens are rather better during cool weather, instead of sub-zero weather. 
That may just be me, though!
