Types of mitts

Despite the fact that often all accessories are knitted with knitting needles, there are ways to make mitts crocheted. Diagrams with descriptions for beginners greatly facilitate the process. In this article, we will consider the main types of mittens, the ways of knitting them and other recommendations.

Conditionally, all existing models can be divided into several main types:

• Simple, without the associated thumb.
• With your thumb.
• Mitten-mittens.

The latter view consists of two parts: the main one, which closes the palm, leaving the fingers free, and the upper one, which can be worn from above to protect it from the cold. Such a model is rather complicated. Since this article is intended for beginners, the first two views will be discussed in detail.

Features of crochet

Any of the listed species can be connected by a dense or openwork pattern. If you decide to knit crochet mitts (the diagrams are described below), note that they have some differences from such products made with knitting needles. It:

• Lesser degree of elasticity.
• Large thickness of the canvas.
• Relatively high rigidity.

All these factors should be taken into account when selecting yarn and hook. If it is decided to knit a dense product, it is better to choose a thread thinner, in order not to get too thick. The pattern should not be too voluminous, otherwise the mittens will turn into boxing gloves. The density of knitting should be regulated and adhere to the "golden mean".

It is knit by some longitudinal pattern or decorated with embroidery, beads and other decor. Many solid or conventionally solid patterns are great for tie warm crochet hooks. Schemes describing the proposed in this article.

Mittens without a finger

These accessories can be tied simply by a flat cloth with a thumb hole. This method of performing work is very simple, and many knitters love it because there is practically no place to make a mistake.

Begin knitting, usually from the bottom. After tying and measuring the control sample, the number of loops for making the web is calculated. In the future you need to constantly try knitting to the hand.

Having defined the type of knitting (flat parts or circular rows), they start to work:

• Knit cuff. The minimum height is 5 cm.
• Then, the distance from the base of the wrist to the thumb hole is tied-3-5 cm (depending on the size of the palm).
• The hole for the finger: a chain of air loops (2-3 cm) is tied in a column of the previous row, leaving a hole sufficient for the finger to pass through.
• Continue knitting the main cloth, tying the chain's airy loops with the pillars along the pattern.
• When the height of the canvas reaches the lower phalanges of the fingers, the mitten is ready.

The length of the product can be made and slightly smaller, so that it only covers the bones of the fingers. All open edges should be carefully tied.

Mittens with a connected thumb

A variation of the mittens, which include knitting of the thumb, is knitted in almost the same way as the previous model. Differences begin after the basic part is finished.

To knit a thumb, you need to make several circular rows around the perimeter of the hole left. It must be ensured that the resulting fabric is not too wide and does not stick in the form of ruches. To do this, you should try on the hand.

Also, you should avoid tightening the blade. The height of the finger should be small, about 1-2 cm. Its upper edge should be tied in the same way as all the other edges of the mittens.

Openwork patterns are used to tie decorative crochet mitts. Diagrams with descriptions of such patterns are suggested in the photos below. They are great for this kind of work. Ornaments can be used to make both the cuff and the main part.

It should be borne in mind that too large a pattern is not suitable for mitts. Exceptions become products from very thin threads. Like warm crochet hooks (schemes with descriptions also offer many online resources), laced accessories can only have a hole or a connected detail of the thumb.
