Mittens

Good day friends!

I know it's getting late in the season to be 

making mittens, but I wanted to share these with

you. I love this pattern for crocheted mittens

and have made many pairs over the years.

They are made with worsted weight yarn.

This pair I made crocheting into the back

loop only to give the ridged pattern.
I've never done this before.
I also single crocheted them together along

the edges.

These two pair I made the way I usually crochet them.

I crocheted into each full stitch and sewed the edges 

together.  I prefer this without the ridges.
It's all a personal preference.

What I love about these mittens is that they are

a little smaller at the wrist and then are long

enough to be tucked up your sleeve and

you don't get a gap between your sleeve and your

mitten.

I have made them in the past and made them double thick.

I make 2 pair and put one inside the other and stitch them

together at the opening.  They are very heavy and warm

when I do this.  But they are really warm making them

with a single layer too.

If you are interested in the pattern for these mittens

e-mail me at Mamamaynard55@hotmail.com and

I will e-mail you the pattern.
Also please comment to let me know you are

e-mailing me.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have enjoyed your time here

and will come again soon.

Until then;

plan ahead, make some mittens for

next winter.

 

Easy Peasy Crocheted Mittens

Hello crafty people!

A little while ago I got a message from Sara

asking how long it would take for me to make

a pair of mittens.
She and Jaryd had plans for an outdoor 

outing with friends and she could only find one glove.

So, Mom to the rescue!

I happened to have a pair of mittens 3/4 done, but 

didn't have the pattern to finish them.

I went online and found the same pattern and finished

them up that evening for her.

These are crocheted mittens and I made them

double thick by making 4 mittens and putting one 

inside the other and stitching them together at the 

opening.

I got this picture from Jaryd after he took them

home to her.  They are nice and warm for any outdoor

activity.

I also made a pair for Marie, but didn't double them up,

I think doubled would be a bit on the bulky side for

her.

The mittens were such a big hit with 

their friends that Sara told me that Kelsey

would love a pair in olive green.

Since Kelsey is my #2 son's fiance,

how could I not make a pair for her?

After all she's going to be my #2 

daughter in law!

She and Brian came and picked them

up the other day and she was thrilled with them.

Now I'm working on a pair for myself.

These are the easiest mittens to make,

they work up very fast and even with

one layer are very warm.

One skein of worsted weight yarn

can make 2 pair of adults mittens or

one double thick pair.

AND if you make them double thick,

they can be reversible.

If you know how to crochet,

you can make these mittens,

they are easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll give these mittens a try

and come visit me again soon.

Until then,

keep warm!
