Is This a Beginner-Friendly Crochet Project?
Although basic crochet stitches are used in this pattern, the construction requires a bit more attention, making this pattern suitable for intermediate crocheters. You will crochet these gloves both in rows and in the round. It also requires quite a lot of colorwork and weaving in loose ends, which might be tricky for those with little or no experience.
What You’ll Need to Start Your Stripy Mitts
Thanks to its colorful stripy design, these crochet fingerless gloves are a great stash-buster project. If you have any odd skeins or lone yarn scraps, you can easily put them to good use by making this whimsical pair.
The designer recommends using sport-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook for this pattern. The gloves, which you can see in the pictures, feature Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, which is a delightful blend of merino wool and cashmere with a gentle feel.
How the Stripy Mitts Are Made
The pattern starts with a simple foundation chain. Next, the gloves are worked in rows using half double crochets and changing colors after every row. After completing 15 rows, you will start crocheting in the round with the same stitch pattern. Finally, you will proceed to finish off the top of your mitts with a lovely picot edging.
The Stripy Mitts pattern is designed for a medium size, but the designer offers directions that allow for easy adjustments to ensure the perfect fit.
