Easy To Do Mitten Pattern
Crochet Some Mittens
Here's is an easy-to-do crocheted mitten pattern.
They fit snug at the wrist to keep the cold out.
Directions are simple.
Crochet lengthwise, fold together, sew the edges, turn right-side out, and presto, you have a well fitting mitten.
Chain 88
ROW 1: 12 sc, 6 sl st, 24 sc, 3 sl st, 24 sc, 6 sl st, 12 sc, chain 1. Turn and repeat 13 times.
THUMB: Row 1: 12 sc, 6 sl st, 9 sc, chain 21, skip 33 stitches, 9 sc, 6 sl st, 12 sc.
THUMB: Row 2: 12 sc, 6 sl st, 18 sc, 3 sl st, 18 sc, 6 sl st, 12 sc. Repeat Row 2 four more times.
If you are going to make these, I must share with you an email I received. There is apparently a problem. Unfortunately I was unable to help her either. Nothing was left out of the instructions, however the instructions were sent in by a housewife and submitted as easy crocheting in a Handicraft booklet. I do not have the booklet anymore since we moved to South Dakota.
Here's the email:
HiCarol
i have been working on this pattern and am puzzled as to what to do with the chain21 which is in Thumb: row 1 instructions. There is nothing to connect it with on Thumb:row 2 and I don't understand. ????? Was something left out of the instructions? It has been a great easy pattern so far, but at this point I am stumped.
Thanks, Joyce
I also recieved an email about the hook and yarn size: I always use a #7 or G hook with regular yarn. The directions for the mittens came out of an old handicraft book from the 1970's. I typed it out exactly as it was written, so honestly I'm not sure.

Hi I was wondering what size of hook you use--and what type of yarn,one strand or two. Thanks-D These look so easy and quick,and that is what I am looking for as I crochet for charity. Again,thanks. Donna
Donna wrote on 3/31/09: the chain 12 connects to the other half of the mitten after the skip 33 stitches. you then work the rest of that mitten half turn and continue.
