About the pattern
Use this Tunisian crochet houndstooth pattern to make elegant mittens with a perfect fit due to the thumb gusset construction.
To make the pattern stand out, pick two colors of yarn with strong contrast and use a smaller hook than usual.
All of these considerations are discussed in the video tutorial in which I show you how to make the stitches and where and how to switch the yarn colors.
Skill level
Beginner in Tunisian crochet. You use one color at a time, with two very basic Tunisian crochet stitches, the Tunisian simple stitch and the Tunisian purl stitch.
