When it comes to visual interest these mittens pack a lot of punch! Plus, the crosshatching makes for a thick, dense fabric that crochets up quickly!

Crochet instructions are written for 2 sizes (ladies x-small/small and medium/large). The base of the thumb to the tips of the fingers measures 11.43 cm (4½”) for the x-small/small, and 15.24 cm (6” ) for the medium/large mittens. Please note that the size is approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of wool.

This detailed pattern calls for 1 (1¼) skein(s) of Berroco Vintage Worsted, a 5.00 mm (H) crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge), a 4.50 mm crochet hook, and a yarn needle.

The mittens are worked in the round from the bottom up with the thumb constructed separately, and then sewn on. Skills and techniques used are: half double crochet, double crochet, front post double crochet, back post double crochet, front post treble crochet, half double crochet 2 together, and half double crochet 3 together.
