I made these finger-less mitts for a friend for Christmas. I forgot to get a picture of them so the only one I have is a cell phone picture, but I think it shows the mitten ok.
I had my friend take a picture of herself wearing them as proof that she has worn them, haha.
Pattern:
Wrist Length Fingerless Mitts:
Materials Needed: 1 Skein worsted weight yarn. I used Red
Heart with Love in Deep Blues.
Note: If you wanted to, you could probably use different
colors and stripe it and that would look cool too. This would be a great stash
busting project if you wanted to use up some of the left over bits of worsted
weight yarn. This pattern is highly customizable. If you want the ribbed wrist
longer – just make the beginning chain longer. If you need the mitt part bigger
just add in more sc
I used a 4.5mm hook
Extras:
Stitch Markers
Yarn Needle
Stitches you’ll need to know for this project:
SC
SC in BLO (Back Loop Only)
Sl St
Ch
You will also need to know how to work in rows and in the round.
------
The first part is the ribbed cuff. Each sc should be worked in back loop only
(blo). You will make two, but I suggest working the mitt together in one piece.
When you make your sl knot leave a chain long enough to sew the cuff together.
Foundation: Ch 11
Row 1: Sk first ch, sc in blo across. Ch 1, turn (10 sts)
Row 2: Sc across in blo. Ch 1, turn. (10 sts)
Rows 3 – 31: Sc across in blo. Ch 1, turn. (10 sts)
Here are a list of the rows so you can cross them off as you
go:
3 4 5
6 7 8
9 10
11 12 13
14 15 16
17
18 19 20
21 22 23
24
25 26 27
28 29
30 31
Row 32: Sc across in blo. Join with sl st careful to not let it twist. From
here on out the pattern will be worked in the round. I used a stitch marker to mark
the first st, but you can use leftover bits of yarn, paper clips, whatever – as
long as you know where your first st is.
You can sew the cuff together now, or when your mitt is
done, whenever you feel like sewing it together.
--- For the mitt part the sc is worked as a normal sc.
Round 33: Ch 1, sc in same st as join.
Sc around in each st, join w sl st in ch 1. Should be 32 sts.
Round 34: Ch 1, sc in same st as join. Sc around in each st join with sl st in
ch 1. (32 sts)
Round 35 – 41: Ch 1, sc in same st as join. Sc around in each st, join with sli
st in ch 1. (32 sts)
Left Hand Thumb hole: Ch 1, sc in next 21 sts, ch 6, sk next
7, sc in the 8th st and remaining 4 sts. Join with slip st in ch 1.
Right Hand Thumb hole: Ch 1, sc in next 4 sts, ch 6, sk next 7, sc in the 8th
st and remaining 21 sts. Join with slip st in ch 1.
Round 43: Ch 1, sc around – work 5 sc in thumb hole ch, continuing
around in each sc. Join with slip st. (29 sts)
Round 44: Ch 1, sc in each sc around. (29 sts)
Round 45-47: Ch 1, sc in each sc around (29 sts)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Customize:
-If you need the mitts bigger or smaller: either make the cuff bigger or
smaller to fit your hand. The stitches around should match how many rows the
ribbing is.
-If the thumbhole is too big or small place stitch markers on each side of your
thumb and skip that many stitches. Make the chain that brings the two together
at least two smaller. And the sc that goes into the ch at least 1 less. Sc
around the thumbhole 3 -4 rounds for a more glove like feel.
- You can easily add more rows to make the glove longer and and be more glove
like. You can make the cuff longer by adding to the beginning chain.
You can sell what you make from these as long as you say that it's my pattern and link back to Hot Chocolate Weather.
If you have any questions go ahead and leave it in the comments and I'd be more than happy to answer.
