sidewinder crochet mittens pattern

Today on the blog I have a new pattern for my Sidewinder Crochet Mittens. I’ve always wanted to crochet my own pair of mittens. When I first learned how to crochet, I would see all these gorgeous patterns for mittens or gloves and thought how difficult they looked to make.

I never really gave it a second thought after that. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I don’t like difficult patterns. I lose interest. Is that just me?

Construction

I wanted to make the pattern for these mittens easy.  They are worked by starting at the top and working your way down in a continual spiral. You will need to use a stitch marker to keep track of rows. The ribbing is created by making post stitches. The thumb is then crocheted in the round and sewn at the top.

The Yarn

A #3 light weight yarn is used for these mittens. I didn’t want them to be bulky. I know some prefer that look but that is not what I was going for in this pattern.

You can certainly use a bulky weight yarn, or even a worsted weight for this pattern but you will have to adjust your stitch count. The concept is the same though no matter what weight you choose.

I was able to make these Sidewinder Crochet Mittens in only a few hours. If you use a bulky weight yarn they would work up even faster! It is also a great pattern for beginner crocheters!

      Hi Mary,
      I’m making your Sidewinder Mittens and I have a question about round 15.
      I don’t understand how, if you skip 5 stitches, you end up with 2 more total stitches in the round. Going from 32 stitches to 34 stitches, please help.
      Thx
      Robin

        Hi! If you skip 5 stitches but ch.7, this will give you 2 more stitches for the next round. You will be working in the chains.
