Easy-On Mitts

For those of you who are unfamiliar with my Easy-On Mittens, these mittens have a wrist closure option which allows you to open and close the mitten at the wrist. I first designed these mittens for my son because he was so wiggly and I swear he had fingers sticking out all over the place - trying to get mittens on his hands was such a challenge and he always pulled them off as fast as I could get them on. These mittens open at the wrist so you can easily pop the hand into the mitten itself (not getting stuck on the narrower cuff part) and once the hand is inside you can button up the wrist closure and the hand stays inside the mitten ;) You can wear the closure on the underside of your wrist (which is how I did Drew's so he wouldn't try to undo the buttons) or on top - which is how Darla liked to wear hers because she thought they looked ‘pretty’ that way. You can alternately whip stitch the cuff closed for a regular pair of mittens - this is totally up to you! These mittens have been requested for many reasons - one of which is for individuals in Nursing Homes. The wrist closure allows caregivers to slide the mittens onto the resident’s hands more easily (and less painfully) and then the wrist closure can be button to ensure the mitten stays in place once on.

Star Mittens

Use the ever-stylish star stitch to take these Star Mittens from pattern to reality. This intermediate pattern is a great scrap yarn project that uses two colors, a main body color and a contrasting color for pattern stripes. Three sizes of this pattern are provided, toddler, medium adult and large adult, so you can work this pattern up for anyone in your family.

From the Blogger: These warm mittens are worked using the Star Stitch. No seam is created as you join at the end of each row. Thumb is worked after the main body of the mitten is completed. Cuff is stitched together or you could add a button/loop close instead.

Hygge Mittens

Capture the warmth and softness of Red Heart's Hygge yarn with this simple mitten pattern. This is an easy level pattern that uses a variety of simple stitches to create a textured mitten pattern with a unique ribbed cuff. There is a full video tutorial for both the right and left handed crocheter to walk you through all the steps in creating these mittens. They are interchangeable (meaning both mittens are the same). Techniques used are chaining, single crochet, double crochet and working through the front and back loops.

Children's Textured Mittens

Every February it seems I have the same problem! Lost mittens! It started around mid-January, right after the kids return to school from Christmas Break. And it's nearly impossible to find them in stores. I'm not sure what happens to them, maybe the washer eats them or they are swallowed by the school’s lost and found pit. Well, whatever the reason, I needed more. This is how the Textured mittens came to be! Pattern includes four sizes, including a baby thumbless pair! You will need Loops and Threads Charisma Yarn (Bulky) and an 8mm Hook. They are quick to make!

Oh My Mitts

The Oh My Cowl and Oh My Hat were such hits this year, I had to design one more pattern (for now!) to add to the set - the Oh My Mitts! I hope you enjoy this free crochet fingerless mitts pattern! The Oh My Mitts feature the same stitch pattern as the cowl and hat, all made in super soft Lion Brand LB Collection Baby Alpaca. This free crochet mitts pattern includes two sizes - Small, for teens/small adults, and Large, for adults with bigger hands.
