Alice Mitts (Part One)

Part One of the instructions: crochet your mitts

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/alice-mitts-part-one • Posted by Ruth W

this is Part 1 of the instructions for how to make your mitts. This project was inspired by one of my favorite books growing up: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Perhaps these mitts are something that Alice would have worn, had she visited Wonderland in the wintertime. I’ve made the mitts very short, as that’s how I think Alice would wear them, but you can of course make them as long as you would like!
