What can you crochet with just one skein?

Seven years ago I published my first Seven Days of Scarfie pattern collection. Last year's collection was the sixth. That means I published over 42 patterns made with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn - whoa!

Did you happen to catch this year's pattern event? I changed it to Seven ONEderful Skeins - and there are seven NEW one skein patterns for you to make using Scarfie yarn OR regular old worsted weight yarn from your stash.

Gold and Ice Crochet Mittens

If you've never tried the crocheting one of the Candied Ginger crochet patterns with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn - it's time for you to make some mittens! This gold and ice blue yarn combination is so unexpected and really beautiful for fall and winter months. I honestly wasn't sure how I would feel about this color when Lion Brand released it a few years ago, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how gorgeous it was when it is crocheted.

Candied Ginger Crochet Patterns

The Candied Ginger pattern collection has been part of the Seven Days of Scarfie since 2020. I’ve already made a scarf, hat and ear warmer. So even though I'm not crocheting a whole Scarfie collection this year; I had to make mittens to match the Candied Ginger set! These mittens have a simple construction with a pretty v-stitch accent at the wrist.

These adult sized mittens can easily be adjusted in length, and you can even add more rows to the cuff if you want it to be longer.

Remember to show me your projects in the Facebook Group or on Instagram so I can see them!

Pattern Notes:

  • The chain stitches at the beginning of each row do not count as a stitch. 
  • The end of each round is attached to the first st of the round with a sl st
  • This pattern is written to fit an average adult. The size can easily be adjusted by adding or subtracting rounds. Additions or subtractions should happen between rounds 4-16
  • I used a fairly tight tension for this project, please check your gauge so the mittens fit properly.
  • Thumb size can be adjusted by changing the number of stitches you start with. Length can be adjusted by adding/subtracting rounds.
