What You’ll Love About the Woodland Mitts Pattern
The Woodland Mitts are not only functional but also fashionable, featuring a beautiful textured design. These crochet fingerless gloves make a fantastic gift for anyone who appreciates cozy, handcrafted accessories. Whether you’re making them for yourself or as a heartfelt gift for a loved one, this project will keep everyone snug in the cooler seasons.
Tools & Yarn Required For this Project
The designer recommends using sport-weight or DK yarn and a 3.75 mm hook for this crochet fingerless mittens pattern.
If you love warm, fuzzy fabrics, go for Cascade Yarns 220 (100% wool). Find wool fibers itchy? Consider using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light – a luxurious blend of alpaca wool that offers the perfect blend of softness and warmth.
Fit and Sizing Tips for Your Fingerless Mittens
This pattern provides sizing options for S/M and L, ensuring a comfortable fit for a variety of hand sizes. To make your mittens bigger, you will need to add 4 extra rows before the thumbhole row on the right mitt and 4 extra rows after the thumbhole row on the left mitt.
Follow the Video Tutorial for Easy Success
You will start working these crochet fingerless gloves sideways in turned rows using two special stitches (yarn-over slip stitch and yarn-over slip stitch through back loop) to create a nice ribbed pattern. Then you will seam your piece with simple slip stitches to form a tube.
The pattern is free to download on Brenda’s blog. If you need extra help, you can also watch the step-by-step video tutorial.
