Warm Crochet Mittens using the Celtic Weave Stitch

The Celtic Winters pattern collection has been part of the Seven Days of Scarfie since 2016. I’ve already made a cowl, hat and ear warmer - so of course I had to make mittens to match! These mittens have a simple construction with a textured Celtic weave 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!

Gauge:

8 HDC x 6 rows = 2” square

Tip of fingers to bottom of wrist = 10"

Width of finger section = 4"

Width of wrist = 3.5"

Length of thumb = 2.5"

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.
