Arda Mittens

The Arda Mittens come in five sizes and use tapestry crochet to create a fun repeating pattern that looks great in any colours that take your fancy.

The total lengths of the mittens, from the bottom of the cuff to the tip of the hand, for five sizes are:

XS - 14.5 cm

S - 19 cm

M - 21 cm

L - 24 cm

XL - 27 cm

This is with 4 ply yarn and a 3 mm hook.

Switching to an acrylic DK yarn (I used Scheepjes Colour Crafter) with a 3 mm hook increased the size by around 15%.

The pattern includes full written instructions and comprehensive pattern notes for making the mittens. It's provided in UK and US crochet terms.

It also includes links to some handy video tutorials about techniques used in the mittens.

Yarn:

Hobbii Friends Extra Fine Merino (4 ply; 165m / 50g ball; 100% wool)

MC: 1 ball (all sizes)

CC: 1 ball (all sizes)

You could substitute for other 4-ply yarns, or go up to a DK yarn (which would increase the size of the mittens, as described above).
