Do you love tiny things? I always have. There's just something so sweet about something that is extra little! I wrote this pattern last year. As with a lot of my patterns, it got stuffed away for another time... and NOW is that time!! Enjoy this free crocheted mitten pattern that would be perfect as ornaments, gift embellishments, car hangers, or even around a candy jar.
Supplies
4/med. weight yarn in colors for "mitten" and "cuff"
Of course you can use all one color or use eyelash or "furry" yarn for the cuff
3.75mm hook (use appropriate hook for your yarn choice)
Basic crochet supplies
About this pattern
Pattern is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round. Use the invisible decrease. The color change is made by completing the stitch before the color change with the new color. If you want a TINY TINY mitten, use the Yarn Under method and the smallest hook size you can.
R8: SC over to the st above the bobble. CC to cuff and move st marker. In BLO, loosely SlSt around (13) FO mitten.
*If using eyelash/tinsel yarn for the cuff, R7 will be HDC in the BLO instead of SlSt . R8 will not be in the BLO.
R9: In BLO, HDC around. SlSt into the 1st st (13)
If only making one mitten:
Ch15 (or more if not using an ornament hanger). SlSt into the same st. FO and weave in end.
If making a pair of mittens:
Ch 35 - 50. Trim end and pull tight against the Ch. Set 1st mitten aside. Make 2nd mitten. After SlSt, trim yarn and using a needle, pull tail to the inside of the mitten. Then thread it through the end ch of the 1st mitten. Pull ch down into the 2nd mitten, Tie the ends together and trim. Stuff into the mitten.
I hope you have enjoyed this free crocheted mitten pattern for Tiny Mittens! Hopefully you will be make several and tag me on social media so that I can see your creations.
Introducing my new crocheted mitten pattern: Little Mittens! I love cute mittens. There is something so hygge, so vintage, so... something that makes my heart smile even when I hear the word! Maybe it's because of Julie Andrews.

Last year I wrote a pattern for tiny mittens, and it's available in this post. I also wanted to write a mitten ornament pattern so that you could use any yarn to make it (especially chenille and velvet). Not only was it to be an ornament, but I also wanted it to be the perfect size for gift cards and candies, or even a car hanger ScentZ (like my sunflower). I absolutely love how it turned out!
About this pattern
This pattern is beginner friendly. It's an easy pattern that works up very quickly as well as a great scrap-buster! I have also included links to my YouTube channel with videos to help with special stitches. The pattern itself is a step-up for myself... with cheery colors and fonts, a clickable table of contents where you can jump from section to section, as well as clickable links! (FYI... this is VERY uptown from where a lot of my patterns are. Most of them were created in Google Docs.)
As I stated before, you can use any yarn with this pattern. If you want to use it as a car fragrance or gift card holder, I recommend a chenille or plush yarn. Acrylic and cotton yarns make a much smaller size, but those would be the perfect ornament size.
Included in this crocheted mitten pattern are 4 different cuff options (Berry St, Ribbed St, Fur, and Plain) tips on using the pattern with worsted weight yarns, as well as separate instructions on making the striped mitten.
All of the above mittens were made with Yarn Bee Velvety Smooth. Yarn Bee Fur the Moment was used for the fur cuff. The green cuff is Premier Parfait Sparkle.
A little inspiration
I always enjoy looking a different versions of a pattern to get some inspiration and also to see how it would look with different yarns. Below, I have included photos of more mittens I have made with the yarn(s) used, as well as photos from my pattern testers. They were all so helpful and LOOK at these mittens!! If you are on Instagram, go give them a follow :).
All these mittens were made with 4/med. weight yarn and a 3.75mm hook. These are all made adding the extra rounds as stated in the pattern.
The top 2: Yarn Bee Fresh Haven, Just Yarn Eyelash/ Berry and Fur Cuff
The blue one: Just Yarn/ Ribbed Cuff
Striped: I Love This Yarn and Premier Just Plush/ Fur Cuff
Made by me.
Striped with Plain Cuff: 5.75 hook, Bernat Blanket
To use this Little Mitten pattern to make a mitten large enough for a gift card, you will want to use a 6/bulky weight yarn and at least a 4.5mm hook. You may also want to make it using the Yarn Over method, but you may need to adjust your rounds above the thumb. Just make sure each round starts/ends in the middle of the thumb.

For my larger mittens, I used Premier Parfait Chunky, Big Twist Posh, Chenille Home Slim and Yarn Bee's Adore-A-Ball and Velvety Smooth. One thing I want to note... when using the Big Twist Posh and Chenille Home Slim, the mitten was not flat. It was open with a bowl shape.

To create a car hanger
To use this Little Mitten pattern to make a car hanger to hang from your rear-view mirror, simply make your loop with a CH50. You can either SlSt this chain back into the same st, or you can SlSt it into the opposite side of the mitten.
I hope you will make a ton of these cuties with my Little Mittens crocheted mitten pattern. Please tag me on social media with your photos so I can see what you have created!
