Once you crochet this beautiful pair of Colorblock Mittens by Megan Meyer, you will not want to take them off. They have a classic three-colored design that you will easily match with many outfits. Plus, you will appreciate their cozy feel during the winter season without a doubt. If you are looking for a great Christmas gift idea, these crochet gloves should definitely land on your list!
Yarn and Hook Required for This Crochet Mitten Pattern
These crochet gloves are made using a 4.5 mm crochet hook and medium-weight acrylic yarn, which results in an incredibly soft and super warm fabric. A great choice for this pattern is Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran, but any other yarn in the same weight would work well too.
If you like the versatile palette proposed by Megan, go for three different shades of grey: Stormy Grey, Slate Grey, and Granite Grey. However, I strongly encourage you to try out your own color combinations, which will reflect your unique style.
Stitches and Techniques You Will Practice
The Colorblock Mittens crochet pattern uses mostly basic stitches appropriate for beginner skill level. As you work on this project, you’ll have a chance to practice the following crochet techniques:
- starting your project with a magic ring
- working in the round
- half double crochet
- creating a cuff ribbing
- increasing and decreasing
The gloves are worked from the top down with the thumb part crocheted at the end. For full written instructions, visit the deinger’s blog.
Sizing Adjustments For Any Hand
The finished size of these crochet gloves will fit an average adult woman’s hand. If you would like to get different measurements for your pair, you can adjust their width or length by adding or subtracting rounds. It’s also possible to modify the thumb size by altering the number of stitches you begin with.
