Irish Rose Convertible Mittens Crochet Pattern

Fingerless gloves are very, very cool. The only thing that could make them any cooler was if there were a way to convert them into mittens when your fingers get too cold ... and lookie at that, here's a pattern that helps you do it.

This crochet pattern is the last of four that make up the Winter Rose Crochet Pattern set. You will want to reference the Irish Rose motif pattern that can be found here.
