❄️ Cozy deer for chilly fingers

If you live somewhere cold, you might as well keep your fingers warm in style. These deer mittens are a beautiful colorwork accessory that mimics the look of knit, and warm hands are crucial to surviving those chilly months.

They’re worked continuously in the round to avoid a seam, in split single crochet (the waistcoat stitch), which helps the colorwork line up. Love these? Try the Squirrel Fair Isle Mittens too.
