If you love creating stylish and practical winter accessories, these zig zag fingerless mittens are the perfect addition to your project list.
This crochet pattern is designed to fit the average woman’s hand with a snug fit, measuring approximately 4″ wide by 7″ tall.
Made using worsted weight yarn in four beautiful colors, a size H crochet hook, and a simple tapestry needle for finishing, this pair of fingerless gloves works up quickly and adds a fun pop of texture to any outfit.
Whether you’re new to fingerless mitts or already confident making crochet gloves, this pattern is great for all skill levels and walks you through every stitch of the way.
From the first sc to the last st and every next stitch between, the instructions clearly guide you through shaping and color changes.
If you’ve ever been confused about what to do at the thumb hole or end of the row, this pattern keeps everything simple and easy to follow.
As a free pattern available alongside many of my other free crochet patterns, it’s a great project to share with friends or save to your facebook page for later.

Materials
Size H (5.00 mm) crochet hook
Medium weight (size 4) yarn in 4 colors: white, red, bright green, green. I used Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn”.
Tapestry needle
Abbreviations
ch – chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
st(s) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch
BLO – back loop only
bpsc – back post single crochet
sk – skip
Notes:
- Do NOT chain at the beginning of the dc rounds (Rounds 1–9).
You begin working directly into the first stitch of the round.
This prevents a visible “seam” and keeps the zig-zag cluster pattern perfectly uniform. - Only Round 10 uses a starting chain (because it’s bpsc).
- You will always work in between the 2 dc’s cluster from the previous round to create the zig zag pattern.
