Hello My Crochet Friends!

What do you like more – wrist warmers or fingerless mittens?

In this my new pattern and video tutorial I have an easy solution for both! 

I promised you that I would use the leftover Artisan balls for some nice winter thing and as I like to wear fingerless mittens and wristwarmers, I made tutorial for both.

I prepared instructions for both versions - it is easier to crochet wristwarmers and the instructions are perfect for beginners. Those who want to finish crocheting the "fingers" will have to count the stitches a little bit, but I believe that you can easily handle these gloves as well.

This pattern creates simple and warm crochet wrist warmers suitable for keeping your hands warm during the cooler months from fall to spring.

I crocheted these mittens with Artisan yarn, which I really liked. I have already crocheted great warm woolen socks from this yarn:

and also a beautiful mosaic hat:

And I will give you also the instructions how to crochet really warm mittens, which are perfect for easy to adjust.

When temperatures start to drop, there's nothing more satisfying than wearing sweet cozy mittens!

In this tutorial you'll learn how to crochet your very own pair of simple and nice mittens.

The pattern is available here below for free. It comes with a video tutorial as well.

PATTERN NOTES

SIZE

The pattern is easy to adjust to fit different Mittens sizes from kids to Adult sizes

Bellow there is a pattern for Adult woman size "S/M" and they fits perfectly to me and also my teenage daughter.

1) The crochet MITTENS can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the numbers of stitches and as well as less or more numbers of rows. Remember that when making bigger beanie size, you will need more yarn.
I’ll show you how to make sizes that really fit.

2) The mittens have 3 parts: the bottom ribbing ending, the body of the mittens and the fingers-less part

3) The ribbing ending is crocheted in rows, it is very stretchy and flexible and can be crocheted longer or shorter, wider or narrower, just adjust the length of the foundation chain and the number of rows.

4) the upper part of the mittens - striped part - is crocheted in closed rows, the rows are finished with a slip stitch. When you finish the row, change the color of the yarn.

5) "Fingers" are crocheted in closed rows, the rows are finished with a slip stitch. I crochet with one yarn and the length and width of the "finger" can be adjusted to fit you well.

6) ( ) – the number in brackets indicates the number of stitches in a row after crocheting the row.

7) A ch1 and a ch2 at beg of the row doesn’t count as a stitch throughout.

8) The mittens are crocheted as one piece. From bottom to fingers.

9) Measurement: 

wrist circumference: 20 cm / 7.8 inch
ribbing ending is 12 cm / 4.7 inch high and can be folded if necessary.

mittens body: 10 cm / 4 inch
the widest part of the mittens - circumference around the hand incl. thumb: 26 cm / 10 inch
Circumference around the hand in the upper part (without the thumb): 20 cm / 7.8 inch
length of crocheted fingers: thumb 2.5 cm, index finger 4 cm, middle finger 5 cm, ring finger 4 cm, little finger 3 cm

HOW TO CROCHET WRISTWARMERS OR COSY FINGERLESS MITTENS ARTISAN

ADULT WOMAN SMALL SIZE

​WRITTEN PATTERN 

Make a slip knot and chain foundation chain: 20 chains

Work in rows.

R1: ch1, 1 sc in the second chain from your hook, 1 sc in each st till end of row. Turn (20 sl st)

R2: ch1, 1 sl st in each st, BLO, turn (15 st)

R3 – R32: Repeat rows R2 and R3, until you reach your wrist circumference measurement.

For my hand, adult women small size, I crocheted 32 rows.

Fold the rectangle in half, bring the side together and join sides with slip stitches.
