Seasonal change is what I like best about living in Illinois; once the leaves start changing colors and the cool, crisp air arrives I know we're about to hit those long winter months. I'm always prepared for each season because I know it can come when we least expect it. With Hand-Picked Gloves & Mitts, I'm able to work up the most beautiful designs any time of the year and store them until the cold months arrive.

In this 32-page book you'll find mitts sized for toddlers, children and adults. There are different styles to choose from depending on what look you're going for. From fingerless mitts to full-coverage gloves, you'll be able to find something that fits your needs. Each of the crochet patterns in the book are easy, which is perfect for the beginner. There are instructions for each design making it simple to work up a pair of these lovely mitts.

If you're looking for the ultimate personalized gift, or you want something unique for yourself, the custom hand warmers will fit every personality. There's both trendy and traditional designs within the book that use the popcorn stitch, cable stitch, long shell, ruffles, lace v-stitch and so much more.

The beginning of the book offers sizes and styles, so you know what kind of look you're interested in before diving into the pattern. Choose what size you need to make, decide between regular mittens, fingerless mitts with or without a flip top and then choose from eight different cuffs. You truly can design your own look!

There is a bonus refresher video you can watch online that goes over the techniques and stitches that are used throughout the book, so you can fly through the patterns. If you're looking for that practical crochet pattern then you must get your hands on Hand-Picked Gloves & Mitts; you'll easily want to make them all!
