Top Down Crochet Mittens

"Learn how to crochet these easy crochet mittens from the top down with this simple free crochet pattern. For this pattern you will need a worsted weight yarn. I used Mary Maxim Starlette, which is a 100% acrylic yarn that is machine washable. It worked up great! I love this teal heather color, too. You can use any worsted weight yarn that gets gauge for this pattern. Most of us have an odd skein or two of this yarn weight (category #4) lying around, so this pattern will fit the bill perfectly. If you don’t happen to have this yarn weight on hand, try holding a couple of strands of sport weight or even a lighter dk weight yarn together. (Be sure to check gauge!) Yarn: Mary Maxim Starlette, 1 skein Teal Heather (or other worsted weight #4 yarn that gets gauge) Crochet Hook: US J/10 (6.00mm) Notions: Yarn needle, stitch marker, scissors "
