Textured Fingerless Mitts

Wear them while driving, at work or school, or so you can text. So has this every happened to you, this pattern just popped into my head. I love the fit and it's adjustable in every direction. I got lucky and they had this neat printed yarn locally and there you have it. Enjoy!

Deborah Norville-Everyday Prints-Toasted Marshmallow  - 1 skein Size F crochet hook or 3.75 mm Scissors Yarn needle
Size One Size Fits All  - To increase size to a larger mitt use larger needle or increase rows by -suggest trying H or larger yarn

Pattern notes:

• Easy to make-substitute x-stitch using a treble crochet.
• Looks great in solids and prints.
• Red Heart Super Saver yarn yields a slightly larger mitt but still one size fits all.
• Using larger hook still makes a beautiful mitt and the same overall effect.
• Thumb is adjustable for different sizes by increase or decrease in number of skipped stitches - row 1.
• Do not count turning chain(s). Counting each row should give great results.
• Crossed over treble crochet instructions:

• Lovely Crochet video demonstrated by Yanina Pictured instructions using dbl instead of trb crochet from Dummies.com

Crochet Lace Princess Crown Pattern

Today I'm giving away another free pattern to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th Birthday.

I've posted it on Ravelry and all you need is the coupon code QE90BDAY to download it now FREE. Offer good April 21st, 2016 only. But just in case you miss this special offer, the Lace Princess Crown pattern will be available for an introductory price of $1.

This intermediate pattern works up fairly quickly and will fit sizes newborn to child. It can also be adjusted to fit an adult, youths or even the cat (by reducing the stitch count to 65 like I did with the yellow one on the right). I've also included some suggestion for decorating the crown. If you have any great ideas to decorate these, let me know.
