Crochet Checkered Mittens Pattern by Crochet For You

Happy new year, my friends! 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends!

This new year I have a new crochet mittens pattern to share with you. The Checkered Mittens use the same colors and stitches of the Men’s Checkered Brim Beanie Pattern. I love this unique checkered texture.
