These lovely fingerless mitts work up fast using easy double crochet and shell stitches. The mitts are worked in one piece starting at the palm, which is worked in double crochet stitches. A few stitches are skipped as the mitt is worked and the thumb added after the mitt is complete. The shell stitches start at the wrist, and, even though the instructions are for mitts 9.5 inches long, you could keep adding rounds of shell stitches to make them longer. 

Three cute little Christmas ornaments in one crochet pattern. Each ornament holds a mini candy cane that not only serves as a decoration but as a treat for young and old. The hat ornament holds a candy cane snugly inside from the fold-up bottom opening and is topped with a little knob. The stocking ornament holds a candy cane inside in the fold-down top opening. The ice skate ornament sports a candy cane for the blade, which is inserted through an opening made as you work by skipping several stitches. The ice skate also holds a candy cane through the top opening. Cute lace "ties" decorate the front. 

Four easy traditional crochet snowflakes in one pattern. Yes, there are some picots but not too many. Use them as ornaments to decorate a tree, as gift package decorations, or strew them across the center of a table. Written instructions only.

The perfect hostess gift for the holidays, this mitten potholder works up quick with kitchen cotton and single crochet stitches. The cuff sports textured double crochet popcorn stitches. The double-thick, hand-sized potholder not only protects from burns but looks good doing so.

You'll receive nothing but compliments wearing this lacy scarf with a pineapple stitch pattern. Made with soft and silky Spa yarn, the pattern works up quickly using either the written instructions or the crochet stitch diagram.
