Women's Basic Bulky Mittens Crochet Pattern

Wow, how is it the middle of January already?!  This is my first pattern of the New Year, but don't worry...I still have several more planned to come out this month!  If you were reading my blog last month, you may remember me mentioning that I will be releasing some mitten patterns this month to match some of my other popular free crochet patterns I have published in the past.  The Women's Basic Bulky Mittens are the first up!  Keep reading for the free crochet pattern.

Crochet Mittens Quickly with Bulky Yarn

These mittens are made with a bulky acrylic yarn and match my Basic Bulky Ear Warmer perfectly!  They are a nice, quick project and extra mittens are SO handy to have around.  Stash a few pairs in your purse or car and you will never be without that much needed extra warmth on the coldest and snowiest days.

This pattern would also make a great donation project or a fun #yarnitforward project Incidentally, my sister snatched these up about a week ago but I will definitely be making more to share (and to use up some of my Charisma stash).

These mittens are sized to fit an average adult woman.  If you need to increase the size, I have notes below on how to alter the length.  If they need to be wider, I would recommend just going up a hook size as I did use pretty tight tension on these.  I also have a pattern for Men's Basic Bulky Mittens if you want to make a his/hers set.  Keep an eye out for more mitten patterns coming to my blog!

Pattern Notes

  • The chain stitches at the beginning of each round 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 woman. The size can easily be adjusted by adding or subtracting rounds. Additions or subtractions should happen between rounds 4-12.
