Gifting season is coming soon!

These snowman mittens are specially designed for the festive season coming soon. I’m currently working on another Holiday Mitten Pattern for kids. And I hope you will love these patterns as a gift idea because they are easy to crochet in a few hours with less than 150 yards. Kids will love to wear these fun and festive mittens on colder days while they’re outside and playing.  

About the pattern

The crochet snowman mittens pattern comes in child size.
This pattern is simple and fast to crochet with half double crochet and single crochet stitches.
To make a face of the snowman, the facial features sewed and attached to the mittens.
The double ribbed cuff gives an extra coziness and keep the mittens fitted to your hand and hold well.
