Use up a small amount of yarn and create some scalloped (or shell patterns) fingerless mitts. This pattern is written using US crochet terms. Double crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert hook in the center of next chain, yarn over, draw yarn through stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook, yarn over, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook. Single Crochet (SC): Insert hook in the center of next chain, draw yarn through stitch, yarn over, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook.

Chain 66 stitches + 3 for turning. DC in 3rd stitch and then in each stitch of the foundation chain. (this doesn't count as row 1) Begin shell stitch pattern
Beginning at Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, *miss next 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch, miss next 2 ch, 1 hdc in next ch; rep from * to end, turn Row 2: 3 ch (counts as first dc), 2 dc in first sc, *miss next 2 dc, 1 sc in next dc, 5 dc in next sc; rep from * ending last rep with 3 dc in last sc
Switch to your second colour. Do not cut the end of the first colour. Row 3: 1 ch (does not count as a st), 1 sc in first dc, 5 dc in next sc, miss next 2 dc, 1 sc in next dc; rep from 8, working last sc in top of 3-ch at end, turn Row 4 (same as Row 2): 3 ch (counts as first dc), 2 dc in first sc, *miss next 2 dc, 1 sc in next dc, 5 dc in next sc; rep from * ending last rep with 3 dc in last sc
Using the yarn from your first colour, repeat row 3 and 4. The colour changes will always be on the same end of the mitt. Keep alternating the yarns without cutting them and repeat rows 3 and 4. Measure it on your hand to determine the right length.
When they're the desired size, end on a row 3. Cut yarn and draw it through the loop to secure Make 2. (I reversed the order of two colours so they both matched without being the same.)
Sew the sides together, leaving space for your thumb.
Wear your new mitts!
