Crochet Chunky Mittens Quickly
Fast and easy crochet patterns are SO satisfying! Sometimes you just need a project that you can finish in one sitting, right? These chunky mittens are going to whip up in under a few hours, and they will be just what you need for the cold winter months.
Chunky Mittens Made with Wool Ease Thick and Quick
These chunky crochet mittens are made with one of my favorite super bulky yarns - Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. This yarn comes in a huge variety of colors, washes nicely, and (you guessed it!) works up really quickly for any project you make it with!
Crochet Mittens with Leftover Yarn
This Petrol Blue colorway is a particular favorite of mine, and it's a nice neutral navy tone so it should match most of my winter coats! I actually made this with the leftover yarn from my Hearth Blanket pattern. If you want to see this gorgeous yarn as a beautiful crochet throw - check it out here!
