✨ Warm hands with a ray of rainbow

The cold months can get a little dark and dreary, but these unicorn mittens will brighten things up for sure. This was my third mitten pattern, and I just might be addicted to crochet colorwork.

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