The name of the pattern for these mittens is "Mrs. Murdock's Mittens."  The pattern is available in three sizes.  While I crocheted the adult women's size, there is also a free pattern for a toddler size and a young child size.

These gloves took me about 4 afternoons, that time is calculated for the pair.


My mom absolutely loved these mittens and she gets compliments on them all the time.  Even though they are a year old, the wool I used for them has come out great.  I used 100% merino wool in Navy by Valley Yarns and they feel absolutely luxurious.  If you are looking for some great scarfs to go with these mittens, check out my collection of 5 Free Crochet Scarf Patterns.

Both crocheted mitten's together.

This is a five star pattern and I noticed no mistakes or flaws which can be a problem sometimes with free crochet pattens.  It is very easy to understand and I would be rate this pattern at the easy level.  A beginner may even be able to work through these mittens.



The only stitches you need to know to complete Mrs. Murdock's Mittens is chain, single crochet increase, and single crochet decrease.  To help you remember these stitches use the following links to watch the stitches performed on YouTube.  If you have never made crochet mittens before this is a great place to start and this patterns is pretty easy to master.

Hello and Greetings Everyone I know I haven't been around a lot to post lately but with the holidays, well everyone knows how that goes...

5 Interesting Non Traditional Crochet Square Patterns

I absolutely love to crochet squares.  The very first crochet pattern I ever learned by heart was the granny square.  Even now, years and years later, when I am bored and I just want to crochet for the pure joy of crochet, the granny square is my go to pattern.  I know many other crocheters out there feel the same way and that's why crocheting squares is so popular.  There are so many square patterns out there, a crocheter could never complete them all in a life time.  I decided to search up a few really awesome squares and I felt were unique but still reminded me of that classic pattern I love so much.  These are the patterns that I found.  The stained glass afghan pattern costs a $1.99 but the rest of the patterns listed here are completely free and they are featured on the blogs of other designers.  All of these designs are now additions to my crochet bucket list.

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

The Best Peanut Butter Fudge....like....... for reals! Your Key To Success -- The Soft Ball Stage Don't let candy making scare you. Once you learn the basics, making candy can become rather easy . I will make two or three batches of this recipe over baking a cake from scratch every day of the week. If you can boil water you can do this. The process is just like cooking most other things. When not cooked fully, it will be soggy. If you cook it too long, it will be dry. Sometimes it takes a batch or two to figure it all out.
