The Winter’s Night Crochet Mittens are fabulously cozy and quick as a wink to stitch up. This time of year I love a quick and cozy project. With the hustle and bustle of gift giving, it is so nice to give the gift of handmade goodness! A gorgeous wood button gives them a rustic feel too. These make wonderful gifts, but are also an ideal charity item for giving too!

Hello, could you please make a child's size??
I'm wondering what the gauge is for the original 16 stitches. I've tried several different hook sizes and they all look too tiny to fit a woman's wrist. LOL other than that, I'm super excited to try out this pattern! I plan on making several pairs as Christmas gifts. 🙂
