Hook: 5.00mm
Yarn: Bernat Waverley, worsted weight [4]
You have no idea how hard it is to find or make a good mitten pattern. Or, maybe you do. This pattern is amazing, and I will be making more mittens from it in the future.
This pattern is pretty easy, but it does take a bit of concentration. Don't expect to be able to pay attention to a movie for about the first 20 minutes, or so.
Note(s):
Crochet this project very loosely, unless you want to spend the majority of your time trying to squeeze your hook into the backs of slip stitches. (And, there a lot of slip stitches!)
Repeat R5-8 2x extra before sewing the sides together.
I used the "easy" thumb method, but chained 16 instead of 13. You know, 'cause of my long thumbs.
I'm really hoping the thumb stretches enough to comfortably fit a fleece liner inside the entire mitten...
You could probably make the thumb hole maybe 2-4 chains wider when working that row if you are planning to line them. I wasn't sure how the thumb would work out, so I only widened the cuff/main part of the mitten.
For the left mitten, add the "Repeat R5-8 2x" before making the thumb hole row.
OR
Do not use "Repeat R5-8 2x" for either mitten, if you're not planning on lining the mittens.
I'll keep you posted if/when I line the adorable mittens.
Ps - I'm super pumped to finally have these finished. The text in this post was save as a draft for two months. The second thumb piece was made, but I procrastinated actually attaching it, until today!
