Photography Mitten
This crochet pattern uses slip stitch ribbing for the cuff and single crochet for the body that can be done “Waistcoat” style, or traditional single crochet if preferred, though it will look SUPER different. There is an opening for your index finger, so you can easily snap away even during the cold winter months.

Easy-On Mittens
These mittens have a wrist closure option which allows you to open and close the mitten at the wrist. These mittens open at the wrist so you can easily pop the hand into the mitten itself (not getting stuck on the narrower cuff part) and once the hand is inside you can button up the wrist closure and the hand stays inside the mitten

Snowfall Crochet Mittens
This pattern is so much fun to make. The colored stitches look knitted. To make the different colored stitches, you will be working using the tapestry crochet technique. This snowfall technique is a bit different, however, because you will be finishing the stitch with the first color.
