These mitts are special - the crocodile scales are only on the backs of the hands, with smooth palms, so they are both pretty and practical! The scales point toward the wrist, not the fingers, for a smooth look and feel. (Note that in the first photo, the one on the right is upside down.)

These mitts were originally designed for the Craftsy Class, Crochet Crocodile Stitch.
