What you need:

• I Hook (5.5mm) or J hook (6.0mm)

• 150-200 yards of worsted weight yarn.

• Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

• Scissors

Stitches to know:

• sc - single crochet

• dc - double crochet

• hdc - half double crochet

• fpdc - front post double crochet

• bpdc - back post double crochet

• ch - chain

• sl st - slip stitch

• Magic circle

Tips:

• When starting a new row with a fpdc, work the stitch around both the first stitch and the chain. This will make the seam less visible.

• You can adjust the size by adding rows 4 and 5 to before and after the thumbhole rounds. Make sure you end on row 5 before moving to the next row in the pattern if you do this.

• You can extend the thumb by adding more rows of sc before the decreases.

• There will be some gaps when wearing the mittens so if you wish to line them with fabric or felt, you can. I suggest using #8 or #10 crochet thread for sewing into the finished item. This will allow you to find a color that matches and is a bit stronger than sewing thread.

• If you want a tighter cuff, you can go down a hook size from what you are using. For example, if you are using a 5.5mm hook, you can go down to a 5.0mm hook to make it more snug.

• There is no gauge for these mittens because you can adapt the size to fit your needs.
