Crochet Christmas Mini Mittens Ornament
Materials Needed:
- 2 mm crochet hook
- Sport weight yarn
Starting with the Thumb:
- Create a magic ring.
- Crochet six single crochet (sc) inside the magic ring.
- Secure and close the ring tightly.
- Crochet two rounds with six sc each (for the thumb).
Securing the Yarn:
- After the first stitch of the second round, weave in the beginning tail to secure the magic ring and ensure the yarn doesn’t unravel.
Forming the Thumb:
- Adjust stitches as needed to fix any curling and complete three rounds of six sc each for the thumb.
- Cut the yarn and fasten off after finishing the thumb part.
Main Part of the Mittens:
- Start again with a magic ring.
- Crochet six sc inside the magic ring.
- For the second round, work increases in each stitch, ending with a total of 12 stitches.
- Rounds three and four: crochet 12 sc each.
- Round five: four sc, one decrease; repeat twice (ends with 10 stitches).
Joining Thumb with the Main Part:
- Position the thumb alongside the mitten’s main part, aligning them.
- Crochet three stitches to attach the thumb to the mitten using stitches from both parts.
- Complete the round to match the stitch count of the main part, ensuring there are 10 stitches in total.
Final Steps for the Mitten:
- Crochet one round of 10 sc (after joining the thumb).
- Change yarn color for the cuff (in this pattern, red is used for the cuff). Chain six.
- Starting in the second chain from the hook, make five sc back along the chain.
- Secure the end and weave in any loose ends.
Creating the Cuff Detail:
- Skip one stitch and begin working down the chain with five sc.
- Incorporate slip stitches to connect the cuff to the main part.
- Use back loop only (BLO) single crochet when working on the backside and front loop only (FLO) single crochet when working on the front side to create the ribbed look.
- Continue working in the pattern to complete the cuff.
Finishing Touches:
- Once the cuff is complete, fold it up to form the mitten.
- Weave in any remaining ends and trim excess yarn.
Repeat the Steps:
- To create a pair, repeat all steps for the second mitten, ensuring to mirror any directional elements for a matching pair.
