I like this pattern for the Crochet Wavy Shells Mittens. It takes a different twist on making mittens by starting with the thumb. I've never made them this way before but it looks interesting and makes me want to whip up a pair. The written pattern is well done and easy to follow, with some clear pictures showing you what to do. I'm going to play around with this pattern and see what I can come up with. It's always nice to have a starting pattern and making it your own just by switching things up. I love JaneEK's idea if using furry yarn for the cuff portion. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet mittens pattern.

I looked at a pattern for making gloves and decided that mittens are the only way to go. I like that this project has a matching hat already in the pipeline! The finger portion of this mitten looks a little long, but it might just be because the cuff is turned up too far in the photo. These would look very nice if you used a furry yarn at the cuff portion, too.

A very cute of fashionable way to keep your hands warm when the temps start dropping. Do you go out Christmas caroling? These would be the perfect fashion accessory to help keep your hands warm. Love the design and the feminine look of these mittens over the others that I have seen.

The mittens are very nice! They are actually worked up in quite a different way than I am used to. You will start by making your thumb, fasten off. Then you create your hand, starting in the round at the top, and crochet down. When you get it the appropriate length to match up with your thumb, you join them together. Then, you work the rest of the mitten on down to the bottom (wrist), ending with the beautiful shells.
