Crochet Checkered Mittens Pattern by Crochet For You

Happy new year, my friends! 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends!

This new year I have a new crochet mittens pattern to share with you. The Checkered Mittens use the same colors and stitches of the Men’s Checkered Brim Beanie Pattern. I love this unique checkered texture.

    • Cuff to fingertip = 10”
    • Width of palm = 5.5”

Materials (I used)

Gauge: 13 hdc x 8 rows = 4″ with I-9 / 5.5mm crochet hook

Abbreviations

  • ch = chain
  • sc = single stitch
  • hdc = half double crochet
