Holbourne Mitts by Hannah Cross
What is Being Made
The Holbourne Mitts are a pair of fingerless mitts designed to keep hands warm while leaving fingers free for crafting and other detailed work. These sophisticated, detailed mitts feature seamless thumb shaping and are available in three sizes: Small (15cm circumference), Medium (18cm circumference), and Large (21cm circumference), with a consistent length of 19cm across all sizes.
Craft and Primary Technique
This is a crochet pattern of intermediate difficulty. The mitts are crocheted in the round, which creates a seamless construction. The design incorporates front post stitch work, a technique that adds texture and visual interest by working into the post of stitches from previous rows rather than into the top loops. This stitch method creates a sophisticated appearance while maintaining the functionality of fingerless mitts.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches including:
- Chain stitches (ch) - used for foundation and shaping
- Half double crochet (hdc/UK htr) - the primary stitch for the main fabric
- Slip stitch (ss) - used for joining rounds
- Front post stitches - worked to create textured detail and visual sophistication
Materials and Tools
The recommended yarn is Alpaca Cloud DK by WeCrochet, a 100% baby alpaca yarn with yardage of 112 meters per 50-gram ball. The pattern requires 2 balls of yarn in the Leonardo colorway. The project calls for a US G (4mm) crochet hook. Additional tools needed include scissors, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and stitch markers for tracking rounds.
Gauge and Sizing
The recommended tension is 14.5 stitches and 15 rounds measured over a 10cm by 10cm swatch using US half double crochet (UK half treble). Achieving proper gauge is important for obtaining the correct finished circumference measurements across all three available sizes.
Project Characteristics
These mitts are described as a quick and easy project suitable for making multiple times. The combination of in-the-round construction, seamless thumb shaping, and front post stitch detailing creates a finished piece that is both practical and visually interesting, making the Holbourne Mitts an appealing intermediate-level crochet project.
