Stitches You’ll Practice In This Pattern
This simple crochet gloves pattern is worked from the bottom up, starting with the cuffs created from a rectangle and finishing with the thumb part added at the end.
You will crochet these mittens in the round using the waistcoat stitch, which results in a classic knit-like texture. Advanced beginners who would like to learn this technique are welcome to give this pattern a try!
What Yarn Should I Use For Morning Mittens?
If you’re after a super warm feel, 100% wool yarn is the best choice for making winter accessories. This can be Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool or any other medium-weight yarn of your choice. By holding two strands together, you will produce a chunky fabric that will keep your hands toasty warm throughout the whole season.
Another option is to go for Lion Brand Hue and Me bulky weight yarn. It’s a thick wool-acrylic blend, which will give you similar results and eliminate the need to hold two strands at once.
How Do I Adjust The Size For Smaller Or Larger Hands?
This crochet mittens pattern for beginners comes in two sizes, so you can craft a pair that fits your hands perfectly. Follow the designer’s directions to make gloves in a small size suitable for teenagers and women with smaller hands or a medium size appropriate for most women.
You can also adjust the gloves yourself by adding or subtracting rounds or modifying the foundation chain in the cuff area.
How to Personalize These Crochet Mittens?
If you would like to spice up your crochet mittens, consider embellishing them with extra details. The original design features a very basic look, which allows for multiple personalizing options. By adding small leather accents, you can easily improve the appearance of your gloves, creating a store-bought effect.
If, on the other hand, you are looking to boost their handmade character, feel free to adorn them with a tiny crochet snowflake or a cute heart appliqué. This way, they can become a lovely handmade gift for Christmas or Valentine’s Day!
