Gauge and Sizing

The finished mittens measure approximately 10″ long and 4.5″ wide (at the hand). The thumb measures approximately 3″ long.

These fit me slightly lose and I typically wear an adult small glove or mitten. If you wear a medium-large glove or mitten, I recommend going up to a size 6 mm hook to make the gauge a little larger.

Abbreviations

  • Ch – Chain
  • Sc – Single Crochet
  • Slst – Slip Stitch
  • Ws – Woven Stitch** See stitch description
  • YO – Yarn Over

To print a list of all crochet abbreviations to keep in your crochet notebook, check out my quick guide here:

Crochet Abbreviations Quick Guide

Stitch Description:

Ws – YO and insert hook into designated stitch, YO and pull up a loop (three loops on hook). Pull the last loop through the middle loop on your hook, YO and pull through the remaining two loops. YO and insert hook into the same stitch (three loops on hook). Pull the last loop through the remaining two loops on your hook. Skip one stitch and repeat.

Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked in rows not rounds. To obtain the proper gauge and overall size, I highly recommend using Patons Colorwul. You could potentially substitute with Bernat roving yarn. Please note that both Colorwul and Roving yarn are 100% wool. You may also substitute with Lion Brand Landscapes if you need a non-wool option, but please know that this pattern has only been tested using Patons Colorwul.

If you need to increase the sizing a little bit, I recommend going up to a 6 mm or 6.5 mm hook. This pattern is only available in adult size at this time.

Assembly

Place the thumb piece on your thumb. Fold your mitten in half and place your hand inside so the thumb piece sticks out in the proper position. Using stitch markers (or a bobby pin will do), secure the bottom of the thumb with each side of the mitten body. Repeat this for the top of the thumb.

Carefully remove your hand and thumb from the mitten. Thread a scrap piece of yarn that is approximately 20″ long on a darning needle. Begin at the bottom of the mitten and whip stitch the band together. When you reach the thumb, stitch around the thumb, securing it to the proper side of the mitten body (be careful not to stitch it closed). When you have stitched all the way around the thumb, proceed by stitching up the remainder of the mitten body, up to the fingertips.

Weave your darning needle in and out of the stitches at the tip of the mitten body to create a drawstring closure. Once you have gone around the mitten one full revolution, pull on your yarn to draw up the fingers. Secure the closure by working the tail around the center of the closure two to three more times. Once its secure, trim your tail.
