This handmade accessory is sure to keep your fingers super warm whenever you are heading just to the store or going for a longer walk. The pattern is available in one size that fits most women’s hands.
What Stitches Are Used In This Crochet Mittens Pattern?
The cool part about these crochet mittens is that they look like they’ve been knit, but they’re actually made entirely using crochet techniques. Wondering how that’s possible? It’s all thanks to the waistcoat stitch!
The waistcoast stitch produces a solid and dense fabric that mimics the typical knit-looking texture. This technique is a great choice for making warm winter accessories like crochet hats or mittens.
What Yarn Should I Use For Chunky Crochet Mittens?
The 3-Hour Mittens come made of super bulky yarn in a classic, cozy cream color.
If you don’t know what yarn to choose, Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick is a fantastic option. It’s a luxurious blend of wool and acrylic that is soft and warm to the skin, but also very easy to care for. The designer used two skeins in the Oatmeal color to produce the samples seen in the photos.
How to Crochet the 3 Hour Mittens?
This easy crochet mittens pattern features a simple construction method, so everyone can give it a try. The only reason it’s not a go-to beginner project is that bulky weight yarn can be tricky to handle for those new to crocheting.
You start by crocheting the cuff in rows to create a simple rectangle, and then sew both ends together to form a tube. After that, you work the hand in rounds, leaving a small hole for the thumb. In the final step, simply add the thumb, and voila – you’ve got a new favorite pair of winter crochet mittens!
