Crochet Mittens made with Hand Dyed Yarn

The Faded Stripe Mittens are made with the same hand dyed yarn used in the Faded Stripe Infinity Scarf pattern. I do love a good, matching crochet set! If you've never tried crochet mittens to match a scarf before this is a good pattern to start with - quick and easy to learn!

Gauge:

8 HDC x 6 rows = 2” square

Finished Size:

Tip of fingers to bottom of wrist = 9.5"

Width of finger section = 3.75"

Width of wrist = 3"

Length of thumb = 2.75"

Pattern Notes:

  • The chain stitches at the beginning of each round/row do not count as a stitch. 
  • The last stitch of each round is attached to the first stitch of the round with a slip stitch
  • 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
  • To adjust the width of the thumb, start with whatever number of stitches you desire worked into the thumb hole space.  To adjust the length, add or subtract rounds between Rounds 2-6.
  • Adjust the length of the cuff by changing the number of chain stitches you start with.
