Women’s Warm Woolen Mittens

This week was difficult when it came to figuring out what to design. I was sick all last week and have only just started getting better. So until recently, my bedtime was roughly 9:00PM. That doesn’t leave much time for crocheting when you have little kids to take care of.

So on William and my date this past Sunday, I asked him if we could stop by Michael’s so I could get some yarn. He was more than willing since I never get out of the house. Michael’s was having an awesome sale of buy 2, get 1 free Lion Brand yarn! I was excited! And that’s when I saw some yarn I had never used nor had I ever had the guts to try: Woolspun Yarn.

I bought it and took my time that night and the next day thinking about what I could make with this beautiful navy yarn. It was so soft and so warm, I knew I had to make something for winter. One of my many sweet sisters-in-law had told me a while back that she has never really been able to find a mitten crochet pattern, so it was settled!

Once I started making the mittens, they came together very quickly! It was almost like rediscovering my love for crochet. Thank you, wool yarn!

So go ahead, pick up some beautiful Lion Brand Woolspun yarn today and make these mittens! Maybe I’ll try designing a larger size for one of my many brothers.
