Sam lives in Essex with husband
Ken and is a full time mum of
three, but will rarely be seen
without a crochet hook in hand,
scribbling down new design
ideas. Mustard and rainbows are
her weakness, and the yarn stash
is ever growing.PATTERN NOTES
For this pattern you will be
working in rounds, always on the
RS, do not turn after each row.This garment is made in two
parts, fi rst the main mitten, then
the fi nger snugs which are whip
stitched to the mitten.You may fi nd it helpful to use a
stitch marker at the start of every
round to make sure you sl st into
the top of the correct stitch.To add extra length to the mitten,
add a couple of extra rounds of
htr repeats.MITTEN
