The Trailing Leaves Mittens are cozy, textured crochet mittens inspired by the gentle shapes of falling leaves and the quiet pace of winter. With their raised, leaf-like texture and classic mitten shape, these mittens feel both timeless and comforting.
Perfect for chilly days and slow, mindful moments with your yarn.
This pattern uses a combination of front post and back post double crochet stitches to create a rich, dimensional fabric that looks intricate while remaining surprisingly rhythmic and soothing to work.
