Men’s mittens are such a rage so why not crochet a pair. Worked quite tightly to keep the snow away, this pattern features a gussetted thumb which means each mitten is basically crocheted in one piece. Plus the stripe repeat makes counting rows a snap!

Choose team colors that will appeal to your man. I chose burnt orange and navy blue to cheer on the Chicago Bears… afterall, hope does spring eternal and there is always next year!
