Crochet Mittens

 A few notes before we begin, I made this mitt to perfectly fit my hand. I think that I have a somewhat average hand, but make sure that you are trying it on the entire time that you are working on it, to make sure that it works for your hand. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them. I would suggest you read through the whole pattern, and learn all of the stitches before you begin. I used a 5.00m hook and average yarn(in other words, I have no idea what I used :).

Making the Cuff

1.      Chain 5.5 inches, for me that was 25 stitches

2.      Single crochet into each back bump/butt

3.      Single crochet in rows into the back loop of each stitch, chain 1 at the end of each row

4.      Do 30 rows, making sure to enter only the back loop of the stitch

5.      When finished that, slip stitch into the first stitches of the first row to connect them. You should now have a cylinder of ribbing. This is your cuff.

Body of the Mitten

1.      Half double crochet(hdc) 35 stitches along the top of your cuff

2.      Chain 1, 2 single crochet(sc) stitches into the next stitch

3.      Sc 16, 2 sc into next stitch, 1 sc in to each of the next stitches, slip stitch into the first.
