X's Fingerless Mittens

 I don't know about you but my hands are always cold, but gloves or mittens make simple things like using a touch screen or typing difficult. So the natural solution to this problem, at least in my mind, is fingerless mittens. 



I made these fingerless mittens about two months ago without a pattern but didn't write down what I did... oops. So I made another pair, while trying to work what I did and here's the pattern.

Materials:

Yarn: 10 ply/medium weight wool or acrylic yarn, ~45g/1.6oz or 71m/78yards.

Hook: 5mm

Needle to weave in ends.

Abbreviations (US Terms):

ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet 
sk = skip
sl st = slip stitch 
inc = two double crochet in one stitch
blo = back loop only
xs = Cross stitch

Notes:

- Chain does not count as a stitch

- 2 dc means dc in the next two stitches

- Cross stitch = sk 1 st, dc, working behind the last st, dc into skipped st

 The Pattern:

Left Hand:

Ch 9

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. Turn.

Row 2-24: ch 1, sc in blo in each st across. Turn.

Sl st into row 1, sl st down to close cuff. 

Round 1: ch 3, dc in the top of each row around, sl st into first st (24 st)

Round 2: ch 3, xs until end of round, sl st into first st.

Round 3:  ch 3, inc in first st, 6 dc, inc, 6 dc, inc, dc rest of round, inc in last st, sl st into first st (28)

Round 4: ch 3, xs until end of round, sl st into first st.

Round 5: ch 3, inc in first st, 6 dc, inc, 6 dc, inc, dc rest of round, inc in last st, sl st into first st (32)

Round 6: ch 3, 5 xs, sk 6, xs until end of round, sl st into first st.

Round 7: ch 3, dc in each st, sl st into first st. Tie off.


Right Hand:

Repeat pattern of left hand until the end of row 5.

Round 6: ch 3, 8 xs, sk 6, xs until end of round, sl st into first st.

Round 7: ch 3, dc in each st, sl st into first st. Tie off.


Now just weave in the ends and you're done! If you make them I'd love to see, tag me on Instagram @CrikeyMeYarn

Crochet Yarn Basket, with a pocket!

Image
I have been storing all my yarn on a spare shelf in my room, but it tends to spread out . . .  a lot. I needed are more compact way to store it, so I thought a basket would be a great idea! I could have bought one and fixed my problem right away, but why do that when I could buy MORE yarn to clutter my shelf and crochet myself a basket? So I did.  I also crocheted an inside pocket, which I sectioned off for my hooks, scissors, needles and stitch markers (the latter two in their own little containers too so they don't go missing). Now all my crochet things are tidily stored in one space! The basket is 28cm/11inches wide and 18.5cm/7.25inches high. The inner pocket is 20cm/8inches wide and 13 cm/5inches high.  Materials: Yarn: Chunky yarn, approx. 500g/8.8oz or 250m/272yards. I used Hobbi Ribbon yarn, 2 skeins  Hook:  5.5 mm Needle             Abbreviations (US Terms): ch = chain hdc = half double crochet sl st = slip s...

The Scallop Halter Top

I decided to start off this blog with a summer top, but it's still winter here in Australia so I won't be able to wear it for months. I do this thing where I buy yarn because I think it looks cool but I haven't actually figured out what to make with it yet. This was one of those times, I bought this awesome gradient yarn, but only ended up using half of it, so I only used half of the colours … Oh well I guess I'll just have to make another top with the other half 😄 Materials: Yarn: 4 ply cotton yarn, ~500m/546yards or 125g/4.4ounces; I used about half a skein of Hobbii  twister in soft classics  (55% Cotton, 45% acrylic) Hook: 3mm Needle Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain sc = single crochet sc2tg = sc two together dc = double crochet dc2tog = dc two together sk = skip sl st = slip stitch inc = two dc in one st Notes: - 2 dc means dc in the next two stitches - Turning chain does not count as a stitch -  I have written the pattern in one size (approximately a size sma...
