Textured Fingerless Mitts

Wear them while driving, at work or school, or so you can text. So has this every happened to you, this pattern just popped into my head. I love the fit and it's adjustable in every direction. I got lucky and they had this neat printed yarn locally and there you have it. Enjoy!

Materials used

Deborah Norville-Everyday Prints-Toasted Marshmallow  - 1 skein Size F crochet hook or 3.75 mm Scissors Yarn needle
Size One Size Fits All  - To increase size to a larger mitt use larger needle or increase rows by -suggest trying H or larger yarn

Pattern notes:

• Easy to make-substitute x-stitch using a treble crochet.
• Looks great in solids and prints.
• Red Heart Super Saver yarn yields a slightly larger mitt but still one size fits all.
• Using larger hook still makes a beautiful mitt and the same overall effect.
• Thumb is adjustable for different sizes by increase or decrease in number of skipped stitches - row 1.
• Do not count turning chain(s). Counting each row should give great results.
• Crossed over treble crochet instructions:

• Lovely Crochet video demonstrated by Yanina Pictured instructions using dbl instead of trb crochet from Dummies.com

Fleece Lined Fingerless Mittens for Emmy

I have seen these fingerless mittens in catalogs and stores, I love them. So, here's my rendition.

Emmy's Motif

Material: Any sock weight yarn, Size G hook (4.00mm)

Motif Size: Just under 2 inches. 

Special Stitch: Puff Stitch (PS)

Yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo, pull lp through st and make lp same height as previous sts in working row, (yo, insert hook in same st, yo, pull lp through st and make lp same height as working row) twice, yo, pull through all 7 lps on hook, ch 1.

Directions:

Ch 4, join circle with slip stitch
Round 1: Ch 1, 12 sc in ch 4 circle. Join with slip stitch. (12 sc)
Round 2: Ch 3, 1 ps in each sc. Join with slip stitch (12 ps)
Round 3: Ch1, * sc in next ps, ch 1 twice; sc in next ps, ps twice in next ch 1 space *; repeat from *to* three more times. Slip stitch to beginning ch 1.  Weave in ends.

Make a total of 32. 

Assembly: Join together 16 motifs for each hand, leaving space for the thumb opening. & join the motifs in 4 columns of 4, I'm using method 2 for squares finished with chain joined in a zig zag pattern shown on this tutorial by pulling the yarn through the back after making a single crochet between joins. Any method for joining is going to work as long as you aim for a finished size of 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 for your crocheted piece. This shows 12 joined and the thumb space.

Thumb

Round 1-ch 1, sc in same stitch, according around, join with slip stitch (20 sc)

Round 2-ch 3 (counts as dc) decrease dc, 5 dc, decrease dc twice, 5 dc, decrease dc, dc.  Slip stitch to chain 3

Round 3-ch 3 (counts as dc), decrease dc, 10 dc, decrease dc. Slip stitch to join. 

Round 4-ch 3 (counts as dc), 13 dc around, join with slip stitch.

Round 5- Repeat round 4 and fasten off. Weave in ends.

Cut fleece 7 3/4" x  7 3/4", allowing for a 1/4 seam allowance. Hem top and bottom 1/4" and sew the side for seam. Turn fingerless mitts inside out. Align with fingerless mittens and mark thumb opening, and cut a slit slightly larger than the thumb opening. Sew fingerless mitten and fleece lining together with thread or yarn at top, bottom and thumb opening. Finish assembly by joining outer seam and weaving in the ends.

Finishing:
1 round of single crochet at the top, 1 round of double crochet and 1 round of single crochet at the bottom.
