Snow Day Crochet Mittens

These crochet snow day mittens are so fun to make and feature the split single crochet stitch. It’s a very pretty stitch that give the mittens a knit style look. Add a pop of color and you have a gorgeous pair of snow day crochet mittens!

The mittens are made with medium worsted weight yarn and size I or H (for a snugger fit) hook.

Medium worsted weight yarn in 2 colors (About 150 yards for main color, small amount in contrasting color). I recommend a soft acrylic yarn such as Red Heart Soft:

<br />

Blunt needle

Abbreviations:

ch- chain

st(s)- stitch(es)

hk- hook

sc- single crochet

BLO- back loops only

splsc- split single crochet- Instead of doing a sc as normal you will work in the middle of the V part from the previous row and sc, also known as a split single crochet (splsc). This creates a knit style look.

splsc2tog- split single crochet 2 together

mc- main color

Gauge:

13 sts = 4″ (H hook)

12 sts = 4″ (I hook)

Notes:

When switching colors, carry along the color strand not in use and crochet over it.
It helps to keep one color to the back and one color to the front when changing colors so you do not get them tangled.

Cuff:

Ch 10

Row 1: Sc in BLO in 2nd ch from hk and in each st to end, ch 1 (9).

Rows 2-18: Sc in BLO in each st across, ch 1 (9).

At the end of row 18 do not ch 1. Fold the cuff in half and sl st together through both loops and ch 1 at the top. Sc evenly 25 sts around (they will be close together).

***you will now be working in the round, place stitch marker at the end of each row if you need to***
