How to Crochet Easy Nordic Style Mittens

Crocheting mittens can be a fun and rewarding project for both beginners and experienced crocheters. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of crocheting easy Nordic style mittens. These adorable mittens have a cozy design and can be customized with your favorite colors.

Materials Needed

Before getting started, gather the following materials:

• Red Heart Super Saver yarn in two colors (red and gray)
• 6mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle

Step 1: Starting the Mittens

To begin, create a slip knot and chain 15 stitches using the red yarn. Then, half double crochet in the second stitch from the hook and continue half double crocheting until the end of the row. In the last stitch, make four half double crochets. This will be used to turn the corner.

Step 2: Crocheting the Top Section

Attach the gray yarn in the same stitch where the red yarn ended. Make a chain stitch and half double crochet in each stitch until you reach the curved end. At the curved end, make two half double crochets in each stitch to create a round shape. Continue half double crocheting until the end of the row and fasten off.

Step 3: Crocheting the Bottom Section

Repeat Step 2 to crochet the bottom section of the mitten, using only the gray yarn this time. Once both sections are complete, stack them together with the right sides facing each other.

Step 4: Joining the Sections

Using the gray yarn, single crochet around the entire edge of the two sections to join them together. Leave an opening for the thumb by skipping a few stitches near the middle of one side. Single crochet until you reach the top of the mitten.

Step 5: Creating the Thumb Opening

To create the thumb opening, slip stitch into three stitches and start single crocheting in the next stitch. Work your way up, making single crochets in each stitch until you reach the top of the mitten. Fasten off.

Step 6: Crocheting the Thumb

Attach the gray yarn in the designated thumb opening and single crochet around the opening. Continue single crocheting for a few rows, then decrease by making single crochet decreases at the ends of the rows. Once the desired length is reached, fasten off.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

To add a decorative touch, use a long yarn end to create X designs down the center of the mitten. Weave in any loose ends and secure them to ensure durability.
