These handmade mitts with beautiful mosaic motifs are sure to bring a touch of classic knit-like style to your wardrobe. And what’s most important, they will keep your hands toasty warm no matter how low the temperatures get!
Do I Need to Be Experienced in Colorwork to Try This Pattern?
If you plan to embark on this project, it is essential that you have some experience in colorwork. It offers a rewarding challenge ideal for intermediate to advanced crocheters.
The mittens feature a detailed colorwork pattern worked with tapestry crochet technique and waistcoat stitch. The pattern provides written instructions and clear color charts for extra help.
What You’ll Need to Make These Crochet Mittens
For this crochet mitten pattern, prepare fingering yarn and a 3.75 mm hook. The sample photographed was made with Knit Picks Twill Fingering (100% wool), which is unfortunately no longer available. Instead, you can use, for example, John Arbon Textiles Exmoor Sock or Stylecraft Special 4 Ply, if you prefer soft acrylic fibers.
To create a beautiful mosaic design, you will need yarn in two contrasting colors. The designer used 3 skeins in total – 2 balls for the body and 1 ball for the cuffs and colorwork details. Feel free to experiment with different colorways of your choice that will match your winter styling.
Can I Add a Lining for Extra Warmth?
Yes, you can. Though there is no need to do it for Traditional Fair Isle Crochet Mittens. They are worked primarily with the waistcoat stitch that creates a very dense texture without holes. The fabric looks and feels as if it’s been knitted, providing comfort and warmth.
Elevate your winter style with these timeless handmade mittens, creating a cozy and fashionable accessory for the chilly season!
