Thumbless Mittens Free Crochet Pattern
I’m so excited to share my newest pattern with you! I’ve been wanting to make a pattern for something other than a hat so this is what I came up with! Mittens! Not just any ol’ mittens though. I wanted to keep the pattern really beginner friendly so I left out the thumbs (thumbs are hard!). So there you have it! Thumbless mittens! They’re like socks for your hands and oh so cozy! I hope you enjoy! :)
APRIL FOOLS! This pattern was a joke! :P

Hi! This pattern may have been for April Fools Day but actually it is something I can use!! I crochet items for a local hospice group (slippers, hats, sox, etc.) and they have requested muffs to keep the patients’ hands warm. When I came across this pattern I thought this would be a great addition to the muffs. It will keep their hands warm and they would have more flexibility. So, thanks for your joke…you never know how one persons’ funny will be another persons’ solution! :)
Hi! I love these! Is there an easy way to make these in a childs size?
Thank you!
