Snowy Mittens Mosaic Motif - Crochet Pattern
The Snowy Mittens Mosaic Motif is part of the Months of the Year Blanket crochet-along (CAL), a year-long journey featuring twelve unique designs that celebrate the changing seasons. Whether you're creating the full blanket or incorporating the motifs into other projects, this CAL is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow crocheters and explore the joy of mosaic crochet. If you haven’t joined in yet, it’s not too late to get started - be part of the fun!
As the chill of January settles in, there's nothing quite like wrapping up under a cosy crochet project to lift your spirits. When I began brainstorming ideas for designs that captured the essence of January, my mind immediately turned to cold-weather essentials: hats, scarves, and (of course) mittens. Yes, mittens rather than gloves - mittens give me a sense of nostalgia and extra cosiness, reminding me of the fleece-lined pair my best friend gave me when we were students. Over a decade later, they still keep my hands toasty on frosty mornings, and so they inspired this motif.
While the Snowy Mittens motif is perfect for the CAL, its versatility means it can be used in so many other ways. Picture it as the centerpiece of a baby blanket, a stylish table runner, or even cosy placemats. For an even more creative twist, combine it with other mosaic motifs from your collection to craft a truly unique blanket that reflects your personal style.

Each section is crocheted upside down so that your final blanket will go from January at the top, to December at the bottom.
