Perfect for beginners, this pattern will guide you step-by-step to create your very own pair of mittens using simple crochet techniques. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in coral pink
• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows in single crochet = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cuff

1. Start by making a slip knot and chaining 8.
2. In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet (sc). Continue to work 1 sc in each of the next 6 chains. You should have a total of 7 sc. Turn your work.
3. Repeat this step for 20 rows or until the cuff fits snugly around your wrist.
4. Once you have the desired length, join the ends of the cuff with a slip stitch to form a loop.

2. Body

1. With the cuff still in your hands, work a single crochet evenly around one edge of the cuff. Join with a slip stitch to close the round.
2. Now, we will maintain the ribbed texture. For the next 10 rounds, alternate between front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc). This creates the beautiful ribbed effect.

3. Thumb

1. To create a thumb hole, chain 4. Skip 4 stitches in the round, then continue the fpdc/bpdc pattern.
2. Work 3 more rounds in the same pattern, ensuring the ribbing continues around the mitten.

4. Thumb Completion

1. Attach your yarn to the thumb hole you created earlier.
2. Work single crochet evenly around the thumb hole for 3 rounds. This will form the thumb of your mitten.
3. Once completed, fasten off your yarn and cut the excess.

5. Finishing

1. Finally, weave in all ends securely using a yarn needle. This will ensure that your mittens are neat and ready to wear!
