How to Crochet Colorful Mittens: A Complete Guide
You’ll Need
Yarn:
- Multicolor mittens: Lana Grossa ‘Bingo Print’ (100% merino wool; 80m/87.5 yards – 50g): color 316, 2 balls.
- Blue mittens: Fonty Numéro 5 (100% wool; 85m/93 yards – 50g; color 217; 2 balls).
Yarn Substitution: You need about 110 m (120 yards) of Aran weight yarn. I used about 70g of the Bingo Print for both mittens.
If you buy 3 balls, you can make 2 pairs.Crochet Hook: 5 mm.
Size: One size fits most adult women. About 17 cm around.
Stitches Control: 18 sts x 14 rows sc tbl.
Notes
The mittens are worked in a spiral without joining rounds. Place a marker in the first st to mark the beginning of the round. All sts are worked through the back loop only.
Instructions
Fsc 28: Join for working in the round with a sl st at the bottom of the first fsc being careful not to twist.
Rd 1: Sc tbl in first fsc, place marker, sc to end of round (28 sts).
Rds 2-10: Sc around.
Rd 11: Sc 1 more in the last st of the last round, sc 1 (= first st of the round), sc 2 in the next st, sc to end of round.
Rd 12: Sc without increasing.
Repeat last 2 rounds 4 more times (38 sts).
Next Rd: Work to 4 sts before the marker, ch 3 (new beginning of round is the second of those 3 sts), skip 4 sts after the marker (32 sts).
Work even for another 7 rounds or up to desired length, ending with a sl st in the first st of the round. Fasten off.
Thumb
Rejoin yarn at the thumb opening. Sc in all 9 thumb sts (that were previously on hold), sc 1 in each bottom of 3 ch sts. Continue working in the round for 3 rounds or up to the desired length, ending with a sl st in the first st of the round.
Fasten off.
Finishing
Weave in ends. Wash and block. Wear and enjoy.
