Brick and Mortar – CROCHET

This hat and these mitts are reversible! I slightly modified the elongated single crochet to get a smooth clean line on both sides of the mitt. There is a link to the tutorial in the pattern.

The hat is crocheted using two colors of DK weight yarn and the mitts are crocheted using 4 mini skeins of fingering weight yarn for the “bricks” and just a little over a mini for the “mortar”.
