About the Mystical Mitts

The Mystical Mitts are a simple pair of crochet mittens packed full of crochet stitch texture, luxury and style. They are a dream to make, simply seam a rectangle and add a thumbhole – a quick and easy pattern perfect for gifts and for yourself!

The pattern includes instructions for adult sizes Small, Medium and Large and are easily adjustable to fit most people.

I can see these fingerless crochet gloves as awesome stocking fillers this Christmas or as a great addition to your online crochet store – I’m more than happy for you to make and sell as many of these as you like! I’d love to know if you do, so make sure you join HanJan to let me know!

After years of designing fingerless crochet gloves and mittens, I’m delighted to say I’ve finally got around to making a full fingered pair! My herringbone moss stitch crochet mittens are such fun to make (but you can make a fingerless version too of course!).

Yarn

I used King Cole Merino Blend 4 Ply to create my Mystical Mitts which is 100% wool, 50g/180m and so luxuriously soft to work with!

You will need 2 balls of your chosen colour for the crochet fingerless gloves.

I used a type of yarn to make these gloves feel lovely and luxurious. A great alternative would be to use We Crochet Alpaca Cloud 100% Superfine Alpaca, 200yds/50g that will feel so soft and gentle on your skin!

Stitch Pattern for the Fingerless Crochet Mitts

I love experimenting with texture in crochet and so was so p[leased to come up with this stitch pattern! It uses beginner stitches (half double crochet) in various loops of the stitch. You alternate the front loop only, back loop only and 3rd loop to create a wonderful texture that looks far more complicated than it really is!

I love it so much that I’ve also used it on my sweater scarf with sleeves and my simple crochet top pattern, plus I have more designs in the works coming soon!

Pattern Notes

  • A ch1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
  • For the first 5 and last 5 rows of each mitt, fasten off yarn at the end of the row and join again with RS facing for next row.
  • Pattern is written for size S, with adjustments for larger sizes in parentheses.
