Designed for warmth and comfort, these crochet fingerless mittens are ideal for keeping your hands toasty while leaving your fingers free for typing, crafting, or running errands.
They work up quickly and make excellent last-minute gifts or stocking stuffers. Plus, the pattern is a great scrap yarn project, allowing you to use leftover yarn for something both practical and pretty.
The Sandy Mittens are worked flat from right to left and bottom to top, with the number of loops on your hook equaling your stitch count for easy tracking.
Once the main piece is complete, the sides are seamed with the Locking Mattress Stitch, leaving an opening for the thumb. The result is a snug, comfortable fit with a clean, professional finish.
Whether you’re new to Tunisian crochet or just looking for a relaxing winter project, these mittens are sure to become a go-to pattern. They’re quick to make, versatile to wear, and full of cozy handmade charm. The perfect accessory for chilly days or thoughtful gifting.
