Is This a Good Crochet Project for Beginners?
Let me guess, you’ve just started crocheting and you’re looking for an easy pattern that could become your first project? If so, you couldn’t have found a better one!
Generally, crochet mittens and gloves are fantastic projects for beginners, but this pattern is particularly beginner-friendly. It features a simple, minimalist design worked with chains, single crochets and back loops, and an even simpler construction method. So ready to give it a try?
What You’ll Need Before You Start
To complete your pair of crochet fingerless mittens, you will need just one skein of medium-weight yarn. You can even have one in your stash already! The sample pictured was made with Knit Picks Comfy. It’s a soft blend of premium cotton and acrylic fibers in worsted weight.
The designer also used a 5.5 mm hook for the foundation chain and a 4.5 mm one to work the rest of the glove.
Do I Need to Know How to Crochet In the Round?
What sets these crochet mittens apart is their uncomplicated design, making them a fantastic choice for beginners. They are worked flat in rows, eliminating the need for intricate shaping. To finish them off, simply stitch the sides together while leaving an opening for the thumb, and you’re ready to go.
How Do I Adjust the Glove Size?
The gloves are crocheted with stitches that offer a nice stretchy fabric, and they will wrap comfortably around your hands and wrists. However, if you feel the need to adjust their size, you can easily do so by adding or reducing the number of worked rows.
