I've been internet searching for the perfect, wind proof crochet mittens. Finally found it! These are crochet mittens with no holes designed to stand up to the coldest weather. It's designed by a lady from Norway. I did a variation of hers, but same principle. They're thick and warm. The body is crocheted and the cuff is knit in a rib.
