How to crochet mittens for kids

In order to understand all the intricacies of work and understand how to crochet children's mittens, for beginner needlewomen will be presented step-by-step instruction. To work, you will need yarn of two colors, for example, gray and white, the amount of yarn is calculated depending on individual measurements and age, for example, for kids, you will need only 20 grams of yarn of both colors, as well as hook No. 3.5.

First of all, you need to make a ring of thread gray color, then start knitting rows. So the first row has three air loops and eleven single crochets, which are performed in a circle. The circle should be closed with a connecting column made with a white thread, inserting the hook into the third air loop. The second row is knitted with a white thread and begins with two air loops and a double crochet column, until the end of the row, such a sequence should be observed, a connecting column made with a gray thread closes the row. The third row consists of two air loops and then you need to knit a row in the same way as the previous one, only the closing connecting column is made with a thread white color. The fourth row begins with two air loops and then you need to knit a pattern, for this the front double crochet should be alternated with the wrong double crochet and close the row with a connecting column made with a gray thread. Further, all rows up to the thumb are knitted similarly to the fourth row.

The place for the thumb is tied as follows: first, two air loops, then the front column with a crochet and a column without a crochet, then you need to knit an odd number of air loops, for example 11, then skip 11 with a column and knit a column without a crochet in 12 column. Then you need to make the next row with a white thread, alternate double crochets with single crochets, and then about 11 double crochets. Then continue to knit the rows according to the scheme of the fourth row until required length. The last row is knitted from left to right. To tie the thumb, you need to fasten the gray thread on the side and make two air loops, then two untied columns with a crochet and three loops. Next, work 11 double crochets plus three loose double crochets. After that, you need to change the gray thread to a white thread and make two air loops. Then alternate columns. All other rows must be knitted similarly to the fourth row of the main part of the mittens. The last row consists of two chain stitches, three loose stitches, four loops knitted together and three loose loops, and so on until the end of the row. To complete the product, you need to connect the edges with a needle.

How to crochet mittens - the diagram below will help you understand

For children, it is important to make mittens not only comfortable and warm, but also bright. For example, knit them from threads of saturated colors or decorate them with embroidery.

How to knit baby mittens

Thanks to the video, you can familiarize yourself with all the stages of work and understand how to knit mittens with your own hands.

Hand skin small child extremely sensitive to low temperatures, temperature extremes, so it is important for mothers to learn how to crochet mittens for newborn babies.

Knowing how to knit, you can pamper yourself and your loved ones with unique novelties. It is no coincidence that Coco Chanel considered handmade things to be a luxury. For example, crocheted Mittens are an original and practical accessory that will add zest to any look.

They are knitted in several ways: with a continuous fabric around, with a side seam, from two halves, using the patchwork technique. To make crochet mittens, the description of the work must be specified according to the diagrams and your own sizes. The most popular knitting options are: in the round and from the middle of the fabric.

Knitting mittens in the round. Method 1

Work begins from the cuff:

1. Having typed a chain of air loops, it is closed in a ring. The hand should pass freely into it. Do not forget that the chain always stretches more than the finished canvas.
2. The mitten is knitted from the base of the palm to the base of the thumb. The transitions between rows will not be noticeable if you use the spiral knitting technique. At the same time, you need to carefully count the rows in order to tie the second mitten absolutely symmetrically.
3. From the leading loop, several air loops are recruited (depending on the thickness of the thread). The same number is omitted in the base row. The next loop is knitted from the base. At this stage, it is better to try on the workpiece. The thumb should fit into the hole without difficulty.
4. Next, the mitten is knitted to the end of the little finger. Decrease is done evenly, two loops in a row.
5. Along the edge of the hole for the thumb, they begin to knit the last detail. For female models the finger on the mitten is evenly reduced in the last third. For men - in the last row.
6. The cuff is knitted with an elastic band or some embossed pattern in a straight line. Rolls into a ring and connects. The main part of the mitten is sewn to the cuff so that the seam of the cuff connection falls on the inside of the wrist. Cuffs are not needed if you immediately knit more rows to the base of the thumb. A smaller hook will make the edge of the mittens more elastic.
7. The ends of the thread must be pulled inside out and secured so that they do not come out during wear and washing.

The scheme for crochet mittens No. 1 is presented below.

Knitting in the round. Method 2

The toe will turn out more accurate if you start working with it:

1. A chain of six air loops closes in a ring. Twelve loops of the first row are knitted from it. In the next row, twelve more loops are added and so on until a circle of sufficient size is obtained. When bent in half, it covers four fingers.
2. Then knit without additions to the bend of the thumb. Although a clear transition was made on the toe from row to row, it is better to continue knitting in a spiral way.
3. The hole for the finger is formed using a chain of air loops (as in the previous description).
4. Continue knitting to the base of the palm or further (to the desired length). The cuffs are sewn in accordance with the intended model.
5. The finger is tied in the same way as in the previous case.

Knitting from two halves

For beginners, crocheted mittens crocheted in this way are a real find.

The back side is knitted with a solid fabric:

1. The length of the initial chain of air loops should be no less than the distance from the base of the palm to the last phalanx of the middle finger.
2. At the end of the first row, eight loops are knitted from last loop grounds. The work is turned upside down, and not inside out as usual. Continue the same row, knitting loops from the other half air chain.
3. Performing lifting loops, the work is turned over. In the second row, four loops are added evenly for rounding.
4. Knitting continues until the part reaches the desired width.

On the inside, a hole for the thumb is knitted using a chain of air loops. Details for the right and left palm should not be symmetrical. Holes are located on opposite sides.

The scheme for crochet mittens No. 2 is in this photo.

You can not make a special hole for the finger in the part. Sometimes the side seam is left partially free. The part begins to be knitted on the edge loops.

The seam on such a model is made on front side, if possible, it should be decorative. It stands out with contrasting threads or large connecting posts.

Crochet mittens for children

Babies are not knitted separately for details. thumbs. Such mittens-bags are called "scratches". They are worn not only for warmth, but also so that the baby does not injure himself. A one-year-old child can, with the help of adults, put on a mitten with a special compartment for the finger. So it is much more convenient to hold objects in your hands and play. Often, for children and teenagers, mittens are connected with a long ribbon or elastic band so that they do not get lost. Baby (crocheted) mittens for beginner knitters will be a great workout.

You can decorate an accessory for a child in absolutely incredible ways. You can use all your imagination. For example, make cute little animals out of mittens.

Crochet men's mittens

This accessory should be particularly durable, warm and comfortable. You can make a fleece lining or knit double mittens. This option is better to knit in the round. First, the inner part is knitted without the cuff. The upper part is made a little larger to fit freely on the inside. The cuff is sewn immediately to both parts. Parts for the finger can be knitted separately or one by starting work from two bases at once. A double mitten is much warmer and softer than a regular double mitten.

Needlewomen come up with various tricks so that mittens provide maximum freedom of action. To do this, you can, for example, separately knit the details for the thumb and forefinger. In such a mitten, it is more convenient to hold small objects in your hand or get them out of a narrow pocket.

Popular touch screens do not respond to touch through fabric. But if you leave small slots in the product for the index and thumb fingers, then you can not remove the mitten to use the phone or e-book. Holes are made using an air chain at the beginning of the reduction of the toe and finger detail.

Foldover mittens

A very common option is crocheted mittens with a separate toe. Such an accessory is appropriate in the wardrobe of a man, woman and child.

A mitt is knitted. You can knit the beginning of the fingers (as on gloves) or leave a smooth edge at the level of the first phalanx. The toe is knitted separately. The part is lengthened so that it reaches the base of the index finger. Both parts are connected on the back of the mittens. Be sure to sew on a button to secure the removed toe.

How to decorate women's mittens?

Can be added decorative elements for the finished piece. Applications, beads, sequins, knitted items, embroidery and other techniques are always at the service of the craftswoman. If you don’t want to overload mittens with details, but at the same time you need a spectacular thing, you need to think over the decor before starting work. Knitted mitten beautiful pattern or gradient, in itself is a work of art and does not need additions.

This pattern works well with fluffy yarn.

Crocheted mittens using the patchwork technique are very effective. Yarn sectional dyeing can also create a successful pattern resembling jacquard.

funny ideas

A crochet mitten of an unusual shape can be a good joke and a wonderful, completely extraordinary gift. For example, mittens for walking are a set of three pieces. One common, and two - male and female - on a different hand.

Drink mittens are perfect for football fans and all other outdoor enthusiasts.

And our today's master class is for those who prefer a hook to knitting needles. Crochet mittens for children fit pretty quickly. The result will please you: tight knitting with single crochets makes ready product very warm. However, mittens can be made even warmer if they are knitted a little looser than necessary for a child's hand, and supplemented with knitwear or even fleece lining.

I crocheted baby mittens in addition to. Both are made of acrylic, but of course you can choose the yarn of your choice - for example, wool if the child is older, and mittens do not have to be washed often. Because of the frequent washes, I tend to favor mostly soft acrylic – it holds up well to frequent washes, feels nice to the touch, and is still quite warm.

To crochet children's mittens, you need:

acrylic yarn in two colors (white and blue) YarnArt Elite (100 g / 300 m);

hook of the right size.

Crochet baby mittens: job description

We start knitting children's mittens with an elastic band around the wrist. I propose a calculation for mittens for a child of 4-5 years. Of course, you can easily adapt this calculation for mittens of any size, even for adults.

I made elastic cuffs on mittens blue color, 10 air loops wide. Of course, you can make it narrower or wider - as you wish.

So, we knit 10 ch with blue yarn. plus 2 v.p. on the rise.

We knit 10 columns with 1 crochet plus 2 ch. on the rise. We unfold knitting.

We knit 10 columns with 1 crochet, while for each column we make a grab for the front half loop. We reach the end of the row - ch 2 on the rise. We turn knitting.

This is how knitting now looks from the other side.

10 columns with 1 crochet, making a capture for each column for the back half loop.

We continue to knit an elastic band, alternating grips in rows for the front and back half-loop.

Thus, we knit 14 rows or as many as necessary.

We fold it in half, with the front part inward, “sew” the edges with a single crochet. Got a cuff.

We tie the edge of the cuff step by step, cut the thread, fasten, thread the tip.

We take a white thread and tie the second edge of the cuff with single crochets. I got 32 of them.

We begin to knit the fifth row. Having reached the place where the thumb should be, we do 1 ch. on the rise, we unfold the knitting and knit in the opposite direction, to the place where the thumb should be. I have 4 loops on my thumb.

We reach that place, we knit 4 ch, we make a bartack on the other side of the hole for the finger, we fasten the thread and cut it off.

We continue to crochet a baby mitten with a blue thread. Determine the beginning of knitting in the middle of the palm, where the cuff seam is. We knit with columns without a crochet for 6 rows.

Then we knit 6 more rows with a white thread. On this, the white thread can be cut, because then the mitten will end, and it will end with a blue stripe.

We knit the first row of the blue stripe without reductions.

Starting from the second and each subsequent row of the final blue strip, we knit as follows: reaching the place where the knitted fabric is folded, we decrease one column; We knit the “end” loop with a single crochet. Then, having already moved to the second side of the canvas, once again we reduce one loop. We do this on each fold until the mitten closes with a beautiful corner.

Pay attention to the method of decreasing loops (without a hole):

We fix the thread, cut it, we fill the tail inside out.

We return to knitting the thumb.

We tie the hole with single crochets - I got 12 of them.

We knit 7 rows with single crochets.

Starting from the 8th - we decrease every second loop. So we do 2 rows. Then we close the hole, cutting all the loops. We cut the thread, we fill the tail inside out. In the same way we knit the second mitten (do not forget to mirror the location of the thumb).

Crocheted baby mittens, warm and beautiful, ready for a walk with your baby.

Before we start knitting, we should take measurements correctly.
Using a tape-centimeter, first we measure the circumference of the baby's wrist, then its length. We will also need a measurement from the tip of the middle finger to the place where the thumb goes sideways.

DIY autumn mittens-bears

Now we knit one row with the help of s. without n., introducing the hook into the ring.

For another five rows, we continue to spirally knit with. without n., adding three loops in each of them.

Again we knit with. without n., but with decreases: in every second row we knit 2 s. without n. together and so only 7 rows.

We complete the decrease, and knit with. without n., as usual, in total - 5 rows.

Now we knit a hole for the thumb. To do this, we collect 7 in. p.s. without n. in the 6th p. from the hook.

We continue to work according to the previously set scheme. Having knitted the loops “back to back” to the arch-hole, we make 1 c. etc. and attach it to the chain.

Again 4 rows of Art. without n. without changes, and, starting from the 5th row, we again proceed to the reductions - 2 for each row.

Ribbon row: 3 in. p., * again 1 c. n. for the pattern, 1 s. from n. in the next p., 1 c. p., 1 p. with n. *, from * to *.

Now we knit 3 rows from s. without n..

We start knitting the thumb: we attach the thread to the corner of the hole and work further in a circle with. without n. to the base of the nail.

Decrease (2-3 sts per row) until we get 2 sts. We stretch the thread through the remaining loops, cut off and hide the end of the thread inward.

Bear muzzle

Ears: dial 4 in. p., close in a ring, p. without n. round. We need two of these ears.

Muzzle: dial 8 in. p., we tie with. without n. in a circle, at the ends of the oval we add 3 p.
