How to Crochet A Gauge Swatch

Working a gauge swatch will let you know if you will have the correct sizing for this pattern. It will also help you practice the stitches used in this project and improve your stitch work for a flawless look.
Are you struggling to match the gauge? Check out the blog post on What is Crochet Gauge and How To Fix It

Special Stitches

Puff Stitch: Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch/space. Yarn over again and pull up a long loop. Yarn over and insert your hook into the same stitch/space. Yarn over again and pull up a long loop (5 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through the first 4 loops, yarn over and pull through remaining loops.

Pattern Notes

• A ch 1 at the beginning of a row is not counted as a stitch.
• Using a stitch marker at the beginning (and end) of each row is recommended.
• Work the first row of stitches in the back humps of the starting chain.
• Sc stitches at beginning and ends of rows are worked regularly.

Finishing

Fold the mitten in half to prepare for seaming. The desired side should be facing out. Make sure you have the same side facing out for the second mitten.

For any size mitten that ends with the last row on the tip of the thumb, fasten off, weave in end, and reattach yarn to the bottom cuff edge.

Insert your hook through the flo of the first stitch closest to you, and then in the blo of the coordinating stitch farthest from you. Yarn over and sl st to join. Work up the side of the mitten, around the thumb, up the side of the fingers, and across the top. Keep your sl sts loose and as even as possible.

Fasten off and weave in all ends. Enjoy cozy hands all season long!

There’s something truly special about heartfelt, handmade gifts like these simple crocheted mittens. They’re more than just cozy and practical—they’re a warm hug in yarn form, filled with love and care. Each stitch tells a story, making them unique treasures and showing how much you value the recipient. Whether it’s a thoughtful gift for a friend, family member, or yourself, handmade mittens are a beautiful way to spread warmth and joy, proving that the best gifts come straight from the heart.
