I just made a pair of these and I love them ! the front post double crochet makes them so snug and warm without having to use bulky yarn for the same effect.
So easy and quick. I will be making more….
Wonderful! Yes people ask me all the time if they are double stranded but the fpdc really makes them nice and cozy!
The fpdc on these make them so toasty warm. I made these last spring and now I’m ready to make another pair. Thanks for this pattern!
