♥ Sweeter than honey, and your fingers stay free

Love bees and crochet? Combine those passions with these fingerless mittens. They’re sweeter than honey and so fun to work up.

Each single crochet is worked into the center V of the stitch below (split single crochet, also called the waistcoat stitch), which helps colorwork line up beautifully. They’re worked continuously in the round, so there’s no seam. Free on my blog too.
