Introduction
The Sandy Fingerless Mittens are easy beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet mittens that are perfect to keep your hands toasty when temperatures plummet. They are a great introduction to Tunisian crochet; they are made flat using only Tunisian purl and knit stitches and seamed at the end.
