A Fun Roundup of 12 Crochet Mitten Patterns including Fair Isle, Chunky and Plaid Pattern Mittens. Patterns can be sized for Children or Adults
Here we go again… kids are heading back to school and Fall and the Holidays are right around the corner. With the cooler weather on its way, it is time to bust out the crochet hooks and yarn.
Here at FiberArtsy, we have shared many free crochet patterns including boot cuffs, shawls, infinity scarves and purses. In this roundup, I found for you some really fun and free crochet mitten patterns. Who doesn’t love mittens?
Now, I am only a beginner crocheter but I am pretty sure that these patterns are adjustable in size for children and adults.
If I am not mistaken, it is simply a matter of changing the weight of your yarn and the crochet hook size to make your mittens larger or smaller. If anybody knows this for sure, by all means please let me know below in the comments.
The other day, it occurred to me that the only glove patterns I have shared here so far are for Fingerless Gloves. So, I decided it might be a good time to dig up some free mitten patterns.
Now that I think about it, I also need to share some fingered glove patterns. That will have to go on my to-do list, as well.
Most of my roundups so far have included both knitting and crochet patterns. This time however, I decided to feature only crochet. I promise, I’ll work on a mitten pattern roundup for you knitters, soon!

How Much Yarn Do I Need for Mittens?
How much yarn you need to crochet mittens depends on the weight of the yarn, the size of the mittens and the size crochet hook you use.
If you use a heavy yarn with large hooks, you need approximately 75 – 125 yards. For super fine yarn, count on about 400 yards. This helpful chart from All Free Knitting breaks it down for you.
How Do You Crochet Fingerless Mittens?
Skill Share has an online class called Modern Crochet 101: Create a Pair of Fingerless Mitts. (They have a free 7 day trial!)
Fingerless gloves are super fun to make because they can be crocheted fairly quickly. Check out this post for several free patterns for crochet as well as knitted fingerless mittens.
I hope you love some of these mitten patterns as much as I do! I am definitely going to try and crochet the Sleigh Ride Mittens by FiberFlux.
If you have a favorite crochet pattern, please let me know in the comments below. Also, if you have an idea for a pattern roundup, I would love to hear it.
Enjoy 🙂
