Crochet Gloves & Mittens Patterns

Mittens, gloves and wrist warmers

The collection covers full mittens, convertible flip-top mitts, fingerless gloves for typing and commuting, and long wrist warmers. Most use small amounts of yarn, so they're ideal for using up leftovers and for last-minute presents.

Choosing yarn and getting the fit

• Wool and wool blends stay warm even when damp; acrylic blends wash easily for children's mitts.
• Measure around the widest part of the hand and aim for a snug fit, as crochet fabric relaxes with wear.
• Work the cuff in back-loop-only ribbing for stretch that holds.
