Product Description
These fingerless mitts are worked with two strands at the same time. A variation of the basic double crochet results in a chain spiraling around the mitts as if it were stitched on. A gusset makes for a great fit, and a missing thumb gives you a quicker result. Pick one solid and one variegated or color changing yarn, or even two gradients to make your personal pair!

Nuriye Mitts by Stefanie Bold
What is Being Made
The Nuriye Mitts are fingerless crochet mitts designed for a comfortable, custom fit. These mitts feature an open palm design without a thumb, making them quick to complete while maintaining excellent wearability. The design accommodates hand circumferences ranging from 6⅝ inches to 8⅝ inches, with corresponding length adjustments for different hand sizes.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
These mitts employ a distinctive two-strand crochet technique worked simultaneously throughout the project. The primary construction method uses a variation of the basic double crochet stitch that creates a decorative chain spiraling around the mitts, giving the appearance of a chain stitched on top of the fabric. This visual effect is achieved through the interplay of the two contrasting yarns worked together.
A gusset is incorporated into the pattern to ensure a tailored fit around the hand. The absence of a thumb opening simplifies the construction process while maintaining functionality for fingerless mitt wear.
Stitches Used
- Double crochet – the primary stitch used in a modified variation to create the spiral chain effect
- Chain stitches – incorporated as part of the decorative spiral pattern created by the two-strand technique
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The Nuriye Mitts are designed to work with fingering weight yarn, which is a lightweight yarn suitable for detailed stitch definition. The pattern calls for two yarn colors or types worked simultaneously: a background color and a contrast color. This two-color approach allows for creative customization—you can choose one solid yarn paired with one variegated or color-changing yarn, or combine two gradient yarns for a personalized effect.
Yarn quantities vary by size, ranging from approximately 26 to 40 grams of background color (110 to 168 meters / 120 to 184 yards total). A 4mm crochet hook is recommended, though the pattern notes that hook size should be adjusted as needed to obtain the correct gauge.
Additional Notions
- Two lockable stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points
Difficulty Level
Rated as a beginner project, the Nuriye Mitts are accessible to newer crocheters while offering interesting technique exploration through the two-strand working method and spiral stitch variation.
