Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 1 size. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Stitches You Will Need
Foundation Single Crochet Stitch (FSC)
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev“chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches.
*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Instructions for the Crochet Snow Mittens
Make 41 stitches using the FSC method, sl st in 1st FSC made (=41 st).
Ribbing
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st), dc 1 in all st until end of round, sl st in 2nd from beg of round (=41 st).
Round 2: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st), *FPdc in next st, BPdc in next st*, rep from *to* until end of round, sl st in 2nd ch from beg of round (=41 st).

Round 9 – 16: Repeat round 8 increasing 2 stitches per round, at the end of round 16 you will have 57 stitches.
From now on you will crochet rounds in spiral without ending rounds. Move PM each round, to identify where a new round starts.
Round 17-29: Sl st in BL of next st, PM, sl st in BL of all st from prev round (=57 st).
End round 29 in the stitch before the marked stitch.
Starting with the marked stitch, count 17 stitches & place another PM in stitch 17. This marks of the stitches that will be left unworked for the thumb.
