Carrie from Mountain Momma Crochet here! I appreciate you checking out the assessment of the Remy Crochet Mitten pattern.
If anyone had said to me that I would make mittens when I first learned to crochet, I would have said they were nuts.
As a young crocheter, I found thumb holes intimidating. The thought of attaching my yarn to create a ‘thumb’ seemed foreign to me. And in all honesty, I made my first pair of mittens less than a year ago. If you’ve been reading my posts, you might recall that I’ve been at this for around ten years. So you could say it took me a while to get around to making mittens.
Let me also apologize for being rude. Christmas came and went. Quickly, it seems. It felt like it took forever to get all the gifts wrapped and ready under the tree. Scheduling the day and time of family and friend gatherings, figuring out the menu, and finding time to rest in between working on crochet gifts and orders was exhausting. I’m still recovering from the holiday hangover. No alcohol implied, just the magnitude of it all. If you are the mom, wife, grandma, Mimi, or ‘insert other titles here’ of the house, you know what I mean. I hope you were able to enjoy some time with your friends, family, and/or fur baby with your favorite fiber and hook.
In my neck of the woods, it’s not been too cold. Maybe a few days here and there, but overall, it’s been in the 50s, temperature-wise. Why make mittens? I enjoy making this pattern for one. And secondly, I had some of my favorite yarn on hand and I LOVE this texture.
What Supplies Do I Need to Crochet Mittens?
- Worsted Weight Yarn, length dependent on size (Toddler: 130 yards, Kid’s: 145 – 150 yards (two age ranges), Women’s Medium/Large: 153 yards) – Malabrigo Mecha, Solis (809) – pictured
- Size G6/4.25mm and H8/5mm crochet hook
- Needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Remy Mitten, Paid Crochet Pattern
Material Notes:
To meet the gauge, I used a G6/4.25mm crochet hook. The smaller hook is used to make the cuff. When working the body of the mitten, you’ll switch to the larger hook, quoted as the H8/5mm.
Malabrigo is my line of choice when selecting yarn to make any pattern, if I have it on hand and if the calculated final price of an order isn’t a factor. Most Malabrigo is not price comparable to something you can pick up at JoAnn, Michael’s, or Hobby Lobby. Yes, I know, I am bougie dear readers. Once you try Malabrigo, I’ll slide over and make room for you (insert wink here).
How Long Does it Take to Crochet Mittens?
Oddly this pair of mittens works up fairly quickly. As I always say, the time depends on the hooker. I believe this to be a fairly easy pattern to follow. There are plenty of pictures in the pattern to help you along, even if you’ve never made mittens before. A big thank you to the designer. I felt I leveled up once I made these mittens (the first time) and started to tackle more complex makes. You could easily work up a pair of mittens in one evening.
Gauge/Measurement:
This pattern gives two gauges. One for the cuff, when using the smaller hook. The second uses the body of the mitten with the larger hook. The finished measurement of the mittens will depend on which size you are making. I checked online for similar patterns and they are in the same, acceptable ranges for each age group represented in the pattern.
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is well written, in my opinion. If you’ve never made mittens and would like to try them, I recommend this pattern. Each size/age is broken down, so there’s little room for confusion. Each major step of the pattern has an accompanying picture that helps you understand where stitches are placed or what your make should look like as you progress. As with all new patterns, read the directions completely before you begin. Review concepts that are not familiar via YouTube or some other means.
If you are an experienced hooker, there should be no stitches in this pattern you are not familiar with. Single Crochet (sc), Single Crochet Decrease (sc dec), Half-Double Crochet (hdc), Single Crochet in the Back Loop (sc blo) would not be difficult for a new hooker to master.
As a footnote, this designer also has a matching beanie. I didn’t know that but made up the one in the picture to make a matching set as a gift for my sister. I would also recommend the beanie if you are going to market prep or make it as a gift. For the mittens and beanie, I used a total of three skeins of Malabrigo Mecha.
Happy Hooking!
