They are easy to carry and fit snugly, giving you comfort while adding a touch of elegance. Whether for yourself or as a lovely handmade gift, these mittens are a great way to stay warm in style and make winter feel a little more special.

Materials Needed:

  • Yarn: Soft baby-style yarn (approx. 75g)
    • Recommended: A lightweight/size 3 yarn for a flexible texture and softness, suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Hook: US Size C/2 (3.0 mm) crochet hook
  • Additional Supplies:
    • Sewing needle (large eye for yarn)
    • Scissors
    • Ruler or Tailor’s Measuring Tape

Notes for Preparation:

  1. Gauge and Fit: For fingerless gloves that fit snugly, measure the width of your hand as instructed in Step 1 and use that as your guide for chain foundation length.
  2. The gloves are worked side-to-side, creating rows from the wrist to fingertip direction rather than up/down.
  3. Bobble Stitch Placement: Bobble stitches are placed only on the top of the glove for comfort; avoid adding texture to the palm side.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Measuring for Gloves

  1. Measure from your wrist crease to the base of your fingers. This measurement determines the height of the glove.
    • The sample gloves measure 18 cm from wrist to fingertip.
  2. Measure the circumference of your hand. This determines the width of your glove.
  3. Set the foundation chain length based on your width measurement. Adjust if making gloves larger or smaller.

Key Abbreviations:

(US Crochet Terminology)

  • ch: Chain
  • sc: Single Crochet
  • dc: Double Crochet
  • sl st: Slip Stitch
  • yo: Yarn Over
  • bobble st: Bobble Stitch

Step 2: Foundation Chain

  1. Chain Foundation:
    • Begin with 37 chains (or adjust based on the width of your hand).
  2. Row 1:
    • Starting in the second chain from the hook, work sc across. (36 sc total).
    • Ch 1, turn your work.

Step 3: Building the Glove Body

  1. For Rows 2–7:
    • Continue working 36 sc in each row.
    • Ch 1 at the end of each row, turn.
  2. Row 8:
    • Work 10 dc.
    • Begin the bobble row pattern:
      • Skip 1 st, dc in the next st, ch 3, dc in the same st (creates a “V”).
      • Skip 2 sts, repeat the V pattern (dc, ch 3, dc) across the row.
      • End with 10 dc.

Step 4: Bobble Stitch Rows

Start alternating bobble rows every other row. Follow the pattern below:

  1. Row 9:
    • Work 10 dc.
    • In the “V stitch” space from previous rows (dc, ch 3 spaces), create bobble stitches:
      • Insert hook into ch-3 space, yo, pull through, yo, pull through first 2 loops (repeat this sequence 4 times inside the same space).
      • After 4 partial dc, yo, pull through all loops on hook.
      • Complete the V-stitch with a dc in the next stitch.
      • Repeat across the row, ending with 10 dc.
  2. Row 10:
    • Work 10 dc, recreate the V pattern in each bobble space.
  3. Row 11:
    • Repeat Row 9 (bobble row).
  4. Continue alternating the V stitch row and bobble stitch row until you have three layers of bobbles completed on the glove.

Step 5: Final Rows

  1. Row 12–15:
    • Work sc evenly in each stitch across. No bobble patterns are added in these rows.
  2. Work additional rows of sc until the gloves reach the original height measurement from Step 1. Example gloves reach 18 cm.

Step 6: Seaming

  1. Finishing:
    • Fold the glove in half, positioning the bobbles on the top side (place the textured portion facing up).
  2. Seam with Invisible Stitch:
    • Use a sewing needle and yarn to stitch the foundation edge and final edge together. Only sew along the glove edge, skipping over the thumb opening.
  3. Ensure the bobble panels align properly as the seam finishes.

Customization Ideas

  1. Color Variations:
    • Use striped yarn or alternate colors for rows to create interesting patterns.
    • Add a contrasting color for the bobble stitches for extra texture visibility.
  2. Size Adjustments:
    • For larger gloves, increase the foundation chain length and stitch count evenly across rows.
    • For shorter gloves, reduce the row count after completing bobble layers.
  3. Additional Design Touches:
    • Add a ribbed cuff at the wrist opening by alternating front post dc and back post dc stitches.
    • Sew buttons or appliques for decorative flair at the wrist.

Tips for Success

  • Keep stitches uniform and tight, especially the bobble stitch sequence, to maintain the textured design.
  • Avoid overtightening seams to keep thumb areas flexible.
  • Block the gloves lightly with steam or damp cloth to make the texture of the bobbles more pronounced.

Pattern Variations

Color:

  • Use ombre or gradient yarns for a seamless color transition throughout the gloves.
  • Alternate colors for the bobble rows versus standard rows for a playful contrast.

Size:

  • Scale down foundation chains (e.g., 30 chains for small gloves) and adjust row count for petite hands.
  • For larger gloves, add more rows evenly depending on hand circumference, ensuring foundation chains fit comfortably.
