Mitten Ornament Crochet Pattern
Day 3 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas is this cosy little mitten ornament crochet pattern. Despite enjoying a Summer Christmas here in New Zealand, I still love all the wintery things.
The thumb and lower part of the hand are worked separately before being joined together. I kept my embellishments simple but you can totally get creative here.

Fasten off invisibly to first dc (the ch 2 does not count as a st) and weave in ends.
