Cable Crochet Mittens
When it comes to winter accessories, few items combine warmth, style, and craftsmanship like cable crochet mittens.
Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or just starting out, creating cable crochet mittens is a rewarding project that adds a touch of handmade charm to your winter wardrobe. Cables make the warmest winter mittens!
You’ll find the cable crochet mittens free pattern below, or an ad-free print friendly PDF (including all photo tutorials) on Ravelry, or Etsy (aff).
No-Sew Cable Crochet Mittens
For those who prefer a more seamless approach, these no-sew cable crochet mittens are a popular option. These mittens are crocheted in one piece, meaning there’s no need to sew or join separate parts. The result is a cleaner, more polished finish and a snug fit.
This cable crochet mitten pattern includes sizes toddler through adult large mittens.
What Are Cable Crochet Mittens?
Cable crochet mittens are a type of mitten that features raised, braided patterns known as cables. These cables are created using special crochet techniques that give the fabric depth and texture, much like traditional knit cables but with a crochet hook. The result is a pair of mittens that not only looks sophisticated but also provides extra warmth and durability.
Choosing the Right Yarn for Crochet Cable Mittens
The type of yarn you use can greatly impact the look and feel of your mittens. For classic warmth and texture, opt for:
- Wool yarn: Ideal for maximum warmth and durability.
- Acrylic yarn: Great for affordability, easy care, and softness.
- Blended yarns: Combine the best features of both wool and synthetic fibers.
How to Make DIY Crochet Mittens
This is a pattern for crochet mittens in one piece beginning with the stretchy mitten cuff.
Create the Cuff: You’ll begin by crocheting a cuff with slip stitches worked in the back loops. After working it to size, you’ll slip stitch join the first and last row together to form a tube. Then, fold the tube in half to make a double layer crochet ribbed cuff.
Work the Body: After the cuff, you’ll start working in rounds, using basic crochet stitches such as single crochet (sc), you will work through both layers of the cuff to join the edges. Then you’ll use extended single crochet (ext sc) stitches to form the textured portion of the body of the mitten.
Crochet the Cable: The crochet cables pattern is created using front post double crochet (fpdc) stitches and front post double treble crochet (FPdbltr), which are worked around the posts of previous stitches to form the braided look. There is a crochet cables tutorial included that shows how to crochet cables in the round.
Shape the Thumb and Top: Once you reach the thumb area, you’ll create a thumb hole by chaining a set number of stitches and skipping the same. Then complete the body of mitten and finish it off by shaping the top of the mitten near the fingertips.
Finish the Thumb: Finally, go back to the thumb area and crochet around the hole to form the thumb.
Yarn
I chose a worsted weight yarn because I wanted to make sure my handmade mittens were warm enough to wear while playing in the snow. Crochet mittens made with worsted weight yarn are warm and cozy, but not bulky.
I used Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease for this crochet mitten pattern. It is, hands down, one of my favorite worsted weight yarns and the wool in it adds to the overall warmth of the mittens.
Wool Ease is a worsted weight / 4, acrylic wool blend yarn and it’s currently available in 31 fabulous colors! You’re sure to find the perfect colors for your cable crochet mittens.
There are several other worsted weight yarns that would make great substitutions. Lion Brand Wool Ease Recycled, Lion Brand Heartland, Lion Brand Pound of Love, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice… just to name a few.
I think this cable crochet mitten pattern would look great in an ombre yarn too!
Self-Striping Yarn: If you choose a self-striping yarn, your stripes will run vertically on the mitten cuff and horizontally on the hand section of the mitten.
Tips for Perfect Cable Crochet Mittens
- Use stitch markers: Keeping track of your stitches is key, especially when crocheting cables. Stitch markers will help you stay organized. A scrap piece of yarn will also work.
- Practice front post stitches: If you’re new to cable crochet, spend some time practicing front post double crochet (FPdc) and front post double treble crochet (FPdbltr) stitches before starting the project.
- Block your mittens: Once finished, blocking your mittens can help the stitches relax and the cables stand out more clearly.

Row 1 (RS): With CC yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, ch 21, working into the back hump of the foundation ch, sl st in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each ch across. Turn. (20 sts)
Rows 2 – 29: Ch 1, BLO sl st in each st across. Turn. (20 sts)
Row 30 – Seam Row: With RS facing out, bring the first row up to meet the last row (the first row should be in front if you kept the RS facing out). Position your working yarn so that it’s on the inside of the cuff. Ch 1, slip stitch the rows together using the following method: insert your hook (from front to back) into the FLO of the 1st stitch of Row 1, insert your hook (from back to front) into the BLO of the 1st stitch of the last row, yo, pull thru all loops on your hook. Continue in this way across the cuff to complete the seam. (20 sts) – See All Tutorial Photos for the cuff and the cables at the end of the crochet pattern.
Do not fasten off. Continue on to Prepare Cuff for Body of Mitten.

Tip! If you’re left with a small gap at each corner of the thumb where you work into the side of the exposed sc’s, use a scrap piece of yarn and stitch the gap closed after completing Rnd 2.
