Easy Crochet Mitten Pattern

Easy Crochet Mitten Pattern

As the chilly months approach, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with some yarn and a crochet hook to create warm, handmade winter accessories. Handmade mittens are not only practical but also add a personal touch to your winter wardrobe. This easy crochet mitten pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike, allowing you to create a stylish pair of mittens that provide both comfort and warmth.

Traditional crochet mittens often require separate pieces to be sewn together—such as the thumb, hand, and cuff. However, this mitten pattern is a one-piece mitten pattern, the entire mitten is crocheted seamlessly! This makes the project quicker to complete and creates a cleaner, less-bulky finish. It’s perfect for both beginners and experienced crocheters who prefer a no-sew mitten pattern.

And because they’re made entirely in one piece, without the need for multiple parts and complicated sewing, they work up much more quickly than mittens with seams. This makes them perfect for making and donating to various charities, shelters, schools, and others in need.

How to Crochet a Mitten

Start with the Cuff: You’ll begin by crocheting the cuff of the mitten. This one-piece mitten pattern start swith a ribbed cuff, made by crocheting in rows using half double crochet in the back loop only (BLO). This gives the cuff its stretchy, ribbed texture.

Join in the Round: Once the cuff is long enough to fit comfortably around your wrist, you’ll join the ends together to form a circle. From this point on, you’ll be crocheting in rounds.

Crochet the Body of the Mitten: After joining the cuff, you’ll crochet the main body of the mitten. This section is worked by alternating extended single crochet stitches in the front loop only and the back loop only.

Create the Thumb Hole: One of the defining features of one-piece mittens is the thumb hole. You’ll crochet a few chain stitches to leave a gap for the thumb, and then continue working the body of the mitten above the hole.

Shaping the Top: As you near the top of the mitten, you’ll start to decrease your stitches to taper the shape, forming the tip of the mitten. When only a few stitches remain, you’ll fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing the Thumb: Go back to the thumb hole and work in rounds to crochet the thumb. This is typically done in a few short rounds, decreasing as you reach the tip. Once finished, fasten off and weave in the ends.

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!

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 cozy 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 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.

Pattern Notes

• Turning chains are not included in stitch count.
• The first stitch of each row is worked into the same stitch as the turning chain.
• I tend to crochet on the tighter side. You may need to go down a hook size (or two) to meet gauge if you crochet on the looser side.
• Yarn Notes: Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease was used for the sample. Other comparable yarns may be used as long as gauge is met.
• Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease, worsted weight / 4 yarn, 80% Acrylic / 20% Wool (197 yards / 180 m / 85 g / 3 oz)

• Crochet Mitten Construction: The ribbed cuff is worked flat and then the edges slip stitched together . The body of mitten is then worked from the edge of the cuff to the fingertip. A thumb is then added. Lastly, fold the cuff down to wear!
• Tip! To keep from having several ends to weave in from the color changes of the stripes, instead of fastening off, simply carry the unused yarn up with you until you need it again.

Fasten off leaving a 6 – 8″ tail of yarn. Continue on to the Thumb.

Men’s Thumb

Note: Thumb is worked in continuous rounds (spiral). I suggest using a scrap of yarn as a stitch marker to help keep track of rounds.

Rnd 1: With a 5.00mm crochet hook, join CC yarn with a standing sc in the 1st skipped st of the thumbhole opening, 2 sc in the next st, (sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st) 2 times, sc into the side of the exposed ext sc from thumbhole rnd, (sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st) 3 times, sc into the side of the exposed ext sc from thumbhole rnd. (20 sts)

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

Rnds 2 – 10: Sc in each st around. (20 sts)

Rnd 11: (FLO inv sc2tog, sc in each of the next 3 sts) 4 times. (16 sts)

Rnds 12 – 13: Sc in each st around. (16 sts)

Rnd 14 : FLO invsc2tog 8 times. (8 sts)

Fasten off leaving a 6″ tail of yarn. Continue on to Finishing.

Finishing

Turn mitten inside out. Using a yarn needle and yarn tails, whipstitch both the tip of the mitten and thumb closed.

Weave in ends. Repeat all instructions to make the second mitten.
