Crochet: Convertible Gloves
Where I live, way out in the country, I love to wear mittens when I go for a walk but I’m the kind of person that always watches the ground when they walk. Why?

The best of two worlds; elegance and funky, these arm warmers can give you two very different looks. The first look of pulling them up and wearing them as long gloves gives a real graceful, elegant look. The second look is a more contemporary grunge look by taking out the ribbons and wearing them slumped.
