Get set for a chilly winter with these versatile and on trend crochet mitts! Made from soft 4ply yarn, the soft ribbing and texture stitch body are just the thing. They are practical too – a toggle holds back the finger cover when you need your fingers free and then it pops over when you want to be warm all over. A great project to keep, give and make again!
I love the idea of full on mitts but they are just so impractical sometimes aren’t they?! I designed these crochet mitts to be both practical and cute so if you’re anything like me and need to regularly have your fingers free for photographing, dog lead untangling, snack and toy passing etc etc then these are just the thing for you.

Yarn
I used around 100g of Rowan Pure Wool 4ply for these mitts you see here but any 4ply yarn that’s soft and squishy will work fabulously.
Here are some suggestions you might like to try:
Rowan Super Fine Merino 4ply
West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply
Other Materials
Along with your yarn, you will need the following:
- A 4mm/G crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- 2 small toggle buttons (1-2cm long)
Size
To fit an average adult hand – 14cm at the widest, 24cm at the longest.
