Say hello to your new go-to winter accessory – the Heavenly Herringbone Mittens by MJ’s Off The Hook! The gloves showcase a beautiful herringbone stitch, resulting in a chunky no-hole texture that will keep you snug and fashionable during the colder months. With size instructions for all ages, you can make a pair for every person in your family!
Is the Herringbone Stitch Difficult?
The herringbone stitch is more advanced, but it’s actually very easy to learn if you are familiar with basic techniques. This crochet mittens pattern uses herringbone single crochet stitches, which are a clever variation of the basic single crochet stitch. The result is a beautiful, dense texture with a structured V-shaped pattern look.
Essential Tools and Yarn
The designer used a luxurious combination of two different yarns to create these cozy winter accessories. The crochet gloves are created by using one strand of Knit Picks Swish Worsted and one strand of Knit Picks Aloft to add thickness and a little bit of fuzziness.
You will also need hooks in two sizes – a 5 mm one to work the body and a 4.5 mm one for the cuffs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making These Mittens
The Heavenly Herringbone Mittens is a project suitable for intermediate crocheters.
You will begin by crocheting the cuffs with single crochets in the back loops only to create a rectangle. Then the cuff is folded in half and sewn to form a tube. From now on, you will continue working the glove’s body in rounds joined with a slip stitch. As you go further, you will start decreasing stitches to finally close the tip.
While crocheting the body, a set of stitches needs to be skipped to create the thumb opening. Once the body is done, you will finish working the thumb in the round.
