Materials Used:

• DK weight yarn ( I used Audine Wools Halo DK weight, 216 metres – 100 grams, 50% – Alpaca, 30% Wool – Merino, 20% Manufactured Fibers - Nylon / Polyamide). 62 grams needed for this pattern (both mittens).
• 4.0mm (US size G6) crochet hook.
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stitch marker

Skill Level: Easy to Intermediate.

Size:

The pattern is written in one size (M) which will fit an average adult woman. You can size the mittens up or down by changing a yarn weight as well as using a different crochet hook.

Gauge:

7 stitches x 5,5 rows = 5cm (2 inches) in half double crochet

Pattern Notes:

• Mittens are crocheted in the round.
• They are worked from the top down.
• Popcorns are only crocheted on the upper side of the mittens.
• Ch2 at the beginning of each round (except for the Round 23 – 28) counts as the first hdc.
• Join with a sl st. on top of the ch2 at the end of each round (except for the Round 23 – 28 and Round 7 of the Thumb).

Abbreviations (US terms):

st. - stitch

sl st. – slip stitch

ch – chain

sc – single crochet

hdc – half double crochet

hdc2tog – 2 half double crochet closed together

()* - repeat the instructions between the brackets the number of times indicated.

dc4popcorn -  4 double crochet popcorn stitch – work 4dc into same stitch. Drop loop from the hook, insert your hook from front to back into the first dc. Place dropped loop on the hook and pull through stitch.
