Next, we have some simple mittens for children. Indeed, these are worked in single crochet only making this probably the easiest mitten pattern. Although simple, these are by no means boring. Indeed, they'll be perfect for a pre-teen who is too ‘adult' for kittens and unicorns.
The original pattern and the photos are available on Ravelry:

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.
Children's Fox Mittens
If you're a parent, then you've probably spent countless hours looking for your child's misplaced mitten. Frustrating, isn't it? While we can't guarantee these Children's Fox Mittens will always be placed neatly in the coat closet, we do think your child will try to hold on this pair. Featuring cute button eyes, pointed ears, and an adorable design, these crochet mittens will be a fun addition to your child's winter gear wardrobe. It's possible you'll start getting requests to crochet mittens for other children (and maybe some adults), too! This pattern will be easy to make, too.

This cute free crochet mitten pattern is a quick project featuring a pretty cable element. Make it in wool for a warmer winter mitten, or in cotton for a lighter weight fall or spring mitten.

Pattern calls for size 5.5mm (I) crochet hook and aran (4) weight yarn. I used Jupiter Moon Farm's Cumulus for the project shown.
Crochet Hand Holding Mitten
If you find it difficult to hold your little one's hand in the wintertime, you are not the only one. This designer found it so irritating to attempt that she created the Crochet Hand Holding Mitten for this issue. Now, after taking yours and your child's mittens off, you can keep your hands warm while keeping each other safe! If your son or daughter doesn't like the idea, try making the crochet mitten in a bright color, or better yet, a favorite color. Adding on fun appliques that your child would enjoy is also a great idea to promote wearing the mitten.
