## CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry. Do not wring or twist.

## DESIGN NOTES
The back loop only technique creates a raised ridge effect that contrasts beautifully with the smooth half double crochet texture. The reverse crochet edging adds a professional, finished look to all pieces. The flap closure on the mittens provides extra warmth when needed while maintaining finger mobility.

**Yarn suggestions**: Any worsted weight yarn with good stitch definition. Cotton blends work well for structure, while wool provides warmth.
