Botanica mittens
Hello!
So. Here’s the Botanica mittens pattern. Not a new design, far from it. But I decided to add a couple of my paid patterns for free on the blog. Which means if you want the printable and well formated version, you can get the pdf for a couple of bucks, via Ravelry>> Botanica on Ravelry
But if you want to keep your money to get yarn instead of patterns, you can follow the instructions directly from my blog. Not the paper version, but nothing is perfect.
*Don’t forget to subscribe to the blog by clicking the FOLLOW button in the bottom right corner of your screen. That was you’ll receive an email every time I publish a new blog post (which is not too often, I swear, and it’s always relevant!)
ANYWAY, LET’S GET STARTED!
Botanica mittens
I’ve had 2 skeins of this marvellous yarn in my stash for a couple of years now. When I found them again and
picked them up, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with them. I’m in love with the result. It is so perfect for
fall and for spring. Soft and warm at the same time…. did I say I was in love?
I hope you’ll enjoy working on this design. In this pattern, you will find the instructions to make yourself the
most amazing and comfortable pair of mittens ever.
Please send me a picture of your fingerless mitts, I’d love to see your version!
Happy crocheting!

| Material: ● a 6 mm hook ● bulky weight yarn (size 5). I use 2 hanks of Mirasol Kutama. 50% Alpaca, 50% Fine Highland Wool (92 gr/114 m) ● a pair of scissors and a yarn needle ● 2 stitch markers Abbreviations (US terms): ● ch = chain ● st = stitch ● slst = slip stitch ● hdc = half double crochet ● hdc2tog = half double crochet 2 together (decrease) ● sc = single crochet ● SM1 = stitch marker that will identify the first st of every round ● SM2 = stitch marker that will identify the beginning of your thumb | Gauge: 6 half double crochet X 5 rounds = 2 inches X 2 inches (5 cm) Notes: ● Between parenthesis, at the end of each round, is the total of stitches made for that specific round. ● You will work in spiral and will use SM1 to identify the first st of every round. Move it up as you go. ● Leave SM2 in your work until you make the thumb. ● You don’t have any bulky weight yarn at home? Try holding 2 strands of soft dk weight yarn at the same time to achieve the same effect. Of course, don’t forget to match the gauge. ● Both left and right mittens are made the same way. ● You want a smaller pair of mittens for your kid? Try using 1 strand of worsted weight yarn instead of bulky weight yarn! |
