The Three Marketeers mittens crochet pattern is a 3-in-1 pattern. This means you can create 3 variations of fingerless mittens using the same main pattern. The three variations of this design are all worked the same for the hand part of the mitten. What sets them apart from each other are the details surrounding the hand: the cuffs, the edging, and the embellishments.
Go bold with variation 1 - Porthos; or brave with variation 2 - Athos, or make the beautiful and neat variation 3 - Aramis. Or why not all three? They are all included in the pattern!
