My Inspo Of The Flower Mittens
This winter I really couldn’t wait to see spring early, I missed the flowers! I wanted to create them while waiting to see them for real!
I love them, they are very warm, original and colorful.
The Crocodile Stitch
Discover or re-practice the crocodile stitch to create beautiful flower petals! It is easier than it seems, just crochet around spaced DC.
The Printable PDF Version Of The Pattern

Yarn & Substitution
For the cuffs I used Katia Yarns Maxi Merino in color 17, it is a 55% merino and 45% acrylic superwash yarn, soft and warm, category 4 / medium.
For the flowers I used Katia Yarns Azteca , don’t hesitate to vary the colors because their range is so wide and attractive. It is a 53% wool and 47% acrylic yarn, category 4 / medium too.
Which alternative for this yarn?
Katia Yarn is an european (spanish based) brand, so to help you make this project I recommend:
Maxi Merino Katia sub: Mighty Stitch Bulky from KnitPicks col Ivy.
Azteca Katia sub: Chroma Worsted Yarn from KnitPicks (you may need to use a larger crochet hook to check gauge)
