Chevron Peaks Mittens - Free Crochet Pattern

Now that the holiday season has come to a close, it's time for ELK Studio's annual Make It For Me Event. During the month of January, Kathy spotlights free crochet patterns on her blog from many of your favorite designers. Each of these designs is a great project to make for yourself after spending countless days crocheting holiday gifts for others.

Last year I designed the Chic Cabled Headwarmer, a stylish, cabled headwarmer with a button closure design that can be worn to the back or off to the side. I also designed the Chic Textures Headwarmer for those who do not like cables.

After releasing the Chevron Peaks Slouch (click here for the free crochet pattern) this past fall, I had many crocheters in the A Crocheted Simplicity Crochet Community Group on Facebook ask me to design mittens to match. I thought mittens would be the perfect project to make for this event.... I needed a smaller project to help get me back into crocheting after a busy holiday season.

Notes

I tend to crochet on the tighter side. You may need to go down a hook size (or two) to meet gauge if you crochet on the looser side.
Turning chain(s) are not included in stitch count, unless stated otherwise.
Another comparable worsted weight / 4 yarn may be used as long as gauge is met.
Lion Brand Wool Ease (3 oz / 85g / 197 yd / 180 m / 80% acrylic / 20% alpaca)
The cuff is worked flat and then seamed. The mitten is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral) from cuff to fingertip. The thumb is then added.
Instructions are included to lengthen your mittens, if needed.

CHEVRON PEAKS CROCHET MITTENS PATTERN

Stretchy Cuff

Row 1 (RS): With a 5mm crochet hook & cream yarn, ch 21, working into the back hump of the foundation ch, sl st in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each ch across. Turn. (20 sts)

Rows 2 - 35: Ch 1, BLO, sl st in each st across. Turn. (20 sts)

Row 36 – Seam Row: With RS facing out, bring the first row up to meet the last row (the first row should be in front if you kept the RS facing out). Position your working yarn so that it’s on the inside of the cuff (See photo & video tutorial here for seam). Ch 1, slip stitch the rows together using the following method: insert your hook (from front to back) into the FLO of the 1st stitch of Row 1, insert your hook (from back to front) into the BLO of the 1st stitch of the last row, yo, pull thru all loops on your hook. Continue in this way across the cuff to complete the seam. (20 sts)

Do not fasten off. Continue on to Body of Mitten.

Body of Mitten

The entire Body of Mitten is worked in continuous rounds (also referred to as working in a spiral). I strongly suggest using a scrap piece of yarn to keep track of the beginning and ending of each round.

Step 1: Turn the cuff inside out. The RS of the body of mitten will be worked on the WS of the cuff so that when the cuff is folded down, the RS is showing.

Rnd 1 (RS): With a 5mm crochet hook and cream yarn, work into the sides of the rows of the cuff, ch 1, work 34 sc evenly around. Switch to gold yarn on the last stitch of this round. Do not join. Begin using a SM or scrap piece of yarn to keep track of the beginning and ending of each round as you work. (34 sts)

Remainder of the mitten is worked using gold yarn.

Rnds 2 - 7: BLO sc in each st around. (34 sts)

Create Thumb Gusset

Rnd 8: BLO 2 sc in each of the next 2 sts, BLO sc in each remaining st around. (36 sts)

Rnd 9: ( BLO 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next st ) twice, BLO sc in each remaining st around. (38 sts)

Rnds 10 - 14: BLO sc in each st around. (38 sts)

Create Thumbhole

Rnd 15: Ch 5, skip each of the next 7 sts, BLO sc in each remaining st around. (31 sc + 5 chs = 36 sts)

Sizing Tip! Try your mitten on at this point. If it is too short, pull out Rnd 15 and work 1 or more repeats of Rnd 10. Then continue on with Rnd 15.

Rnd 16: BLO sc in each of the next 5 chs, BLO sc in each of the next 30 sts, skip the last st for this round only. (35 sts)

Do not fasten off. Continue on to Chevron Design.

Chevron Design

Note: Round 1 of this section begins in the skipped stitch from Rnd 16. I've done this to help line up the chevron design.

Rnd 1: ( FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 5 sts ) rep from ( to ) around. (36 sts)

Rnd 2: ( BLO sc in the next st, FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 3 sts, FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below ) rep from ( to ) around. (36 sts)

Rnd 3: BLO sc in each of the next 2 sts, ( FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in the next st, FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 3 sts ) rep from ( to ) around to the last 4 sts, then work ( FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in the next st ) twice. (36 sts)

Rnd 4: ( FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 2 sts ) rep from ( to ) around. (36 sts)

Rnd 5: Rep Rnd 2.

Rnd 6: Rep Rnd 3.

Rnd 7: Switch to a 4.00mm crochet hook, Rep Rnd 4.

Rnd 8: Rep Rnd 2.

Rnd 9: Rep Rnd 3.

Rnd 10: BLO sc in each of the next 3 sts, ( FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 5 sts ) rep from ( to ) around to the last 3 sts, FLO dc in the next st 2 rnds below, BLO sc in each of the next 2 sts. (36 sts)

Do not fasten off. Continue on to Decreasing.

Decreasing

Rnd 1: ( BLO inv sc2tog, BLO sc in each of the next 4 sts ) rep from ( to ) around. (30 sts)

Rnds 2 - 5: BLO sc in each st around. (30 sts)

Sizing Tip! Try your mitten on at this point. The last 4 rounds will add approximately 1" to the length of your mitten. If you would like a longer mitten, simple repeat round 2 as many times as you'd like, then move on to round 6.

Rnd 6: ( BLO inv sc2tog, BLO sc in each of the next 3 sts ) rep from ( to ) around. (24 sts)

Rnd 7: ( BLO inv sc2tog, BLO sc in each of the next 2 sts ) rep from ( to ) around. (18 sts)

Rnd 8: ( BLO inv sc2tog, BLO sc in the next st ) rep from ( to ) around. (12 sts)

Rnd 9: ( BLO inv sc2tog ) rep from ( to ) around. (6 sts)

Fasten off leaving a 6 - 8" tail of yarn. Continue on to Thumb.

Thumb

Note: Thumb is worked in continuous rounds (spiral). I suggest using a scrap of yarn as a stitch marker to help keep track of rounds.

Rnd 1: With a 5.00mm crochet hook, join gold yarn w/ a sc (click here for tutorial) in the BLO of the 1st skipped st of the thumbhole opening, BLO sc in each of the next 6 sts, sc into the side of the exposed sc from Rnd 15, sc in the FLO of each of the next 5 sts, sc into the side of the exposed sc from Rnd 15. (14 sts)

Tip! If you're left with a small gap at each corner of the thumb where you work into the side of the exposed sc's, use a scrap piece of yarn and stitch the gap closed after completing Rnd 2.

Rnds 2 - 7: BLO sc in each st around. (14 sts)

Rnd 8: ( BLO inv sc2tog, BLO sc in each of the next 2 sts ) 3 times, BLO sc in each of the last 2 sts. (11 sts)

Rnd 9: BLO sc in each st around. (11 sts)

Rnd 10: ( BLO inv sc2tog ) 5 times, BLO sc in the last st. (6 sts)

Fasten off leaving a 6" tail of yarn. Continue on to Finishing.

Finishing

Turn mitten inside out. Using a yarn needle and yarn tails, whipstitch both the tip of the mitten and thumb closed. Weave in ends. Repeat all instructions to make the second mitten.
