Crochet Tips
Chain 34 to cast on for body; join into round and work in single crochet (US). Work first 7 rounds
even; starting from round 8, work through round 15, increasing according to schematics. Leave 10
stitches on each side unworked for hands, join remaining 30 stitches into the round, and work 4
rounds. Starting from the next round, decrease for 6 rounds. Seam remaining 6 stitches with chain
seam. Using 10 stitches left unworked for hands, crochet 4 rounds, then cinch shut.

Crochet all required parts and attach to mitt. Embroider eyes and noses. Crochet edging using crab
stitch. While working edging, chain 13 to create strap.
