Toasty Crochet Mitten Patterns for Snowy Weather

It snowed in Colorado the week before Halloween, and while I would normally be jumping for joy, I am unprepared this year for the cold weather to come. Something that I enjoy in the wintertime is a hot drink from the coffee shop down the street, but mittens are a must to stay comfortable in the crisp winter air. If you, like me, enjoy your walks in the snow, the Interweave Favorites: Crochet Mittens and Fingerless Mitts Pattern Collection is for you! These designs range from quick and easy to simply stunning.

Each pattern is available individually, or get the whole collection to fill your closet with deliciously textural mitts and mittens. With the range of styles and techniques in this collection, you’ll find more than one set you can’t wait to make!

Apple Cider Mittens

If you’re a fan of colorwork and fun patterns, the Apple Cider Mittens by Julia Vaconsin is a project you’ll want to try! These adorable mittens feature checkerboard cuffs and pops of color throughout the glove. The mittens are great as a first colorwork project and can be adapted to fit many hand sizes. Back-loop-only single crochet ensures that the mittens are stretchy, but they can also be made shorter for small hands. Stitch these up with fine, 100% wool yarn for the perfect winter glove. 

Seamed Mittens

Stitch up a pair of mittens for yourself with Kathy Merrick’s Seamed Mittens. These mittens come in a variety of sizes, including kid’s sizes—and make a set for your little loved one, too. Kathy drew inspiration from a simple chevron pattern from a Japanese stitch book to create the cuff detail in these mittens. The project is worked flat in a sock yarn, then seamed. This yarn makes the mittens lightweight while remaining soft and warm. 

Digory Mittens

Crochet cables have a texture that really pops. Brenda K. B. Anderson’s Digory Mittens are the ideal mittens for snow days, featuring interlocking cables that pop against a slip-stitch background. Aran-weight yarn, in a blend of acrylic and wool, makes for a fuzzy and cozy pair of mittens you’ll be happy to have in your collection! And they’ll knit up so quickly.

Basketweave Mitts

Sip your hot drink of choice in a favorite mug with the Basketweave Mitts, designed by Laurinda Reddig. These fingerless mitts are a textural delight. Even with the openings throughout the stitched woven double-treble post stitch fabric, your hands will remain warm thanks to 100% Peruvian highland wool yarn. The fine weight yarn allows for the mitts to feel warm but not feel bulky. These fingerless mitts can also be worn inside out for a different look, so you’ll have two mitts in one! 

Every Way Ribbed Mitts

Fingerless mitts are perfect for those looking for just enough warmth. Lisa Naskrent’s Every Way Ribbed Mitts is a great project for confident beginners. These mitts are made using back-loop-only stitches, post stitches, and slip stitches, so if you aren’t already, you’ll be a ribbing master in no time. The fingerless mitts are ultra-soft! A blend of fine Merino superwash wool and mulberry silk will make you want to wear them all season.

Keep your hands warm this winter with a pair of crochet mittens. Keep it light with a pair of fingerless mitts or stay cozy with mittens made in a heavier weight yarn. Whether you are crocheting a gift or a pair for yourself, this pattern collection will be a hit to have in your project collection. We hope you enjoy stitching up these projects!
