Warm hands

On chilly winter days, warm gloves are a great comfort, but sometimes they get in the way.
Fingerless mittens keep you almost as warm, but leave your fingers free.

I have a very cosy pair knitted for me by my friend Susan.

 I even tried knitting a pair for myself. Nope. I needed crochet mittens.

 
 So I made these
and these fuchsia ones

Then I made these, guaranteed to bring a bit of cheer on the gloomiest day. 
Worked in extended double crochet from the fingers upwards, with a little picot edging.

And yes, I did end up making a couple of extra pairs for family....
