Jessica Cooper I really, really wanted to create a mittens pattern. I already have a fingerless gloves pattern….see the Camel Stitch Fringerless gloves here. I love fingerless gloves because there are times when you need to keep your hands warm, but still need your fingertips. I use them when driving and running errands. But my favorite time to use them is when I’m working because my office is freezing.
So, what lead me to writing another fingerless gloves pattern? Well, my 8 year daughter. She told me she wanted mittens, so I began working on them. The first try didn’t turn out quite right. Well, she goes on to say; no, I wanted mittens that show my fingers. So….here we are! Stay tuned for the full mitten version in all sizes!
The Woodland Fingerless Mittens are constructed from the wrist up. The camel stitch (hdc in third loop) is used for the band. Single crochet and half double crochet stitches are used for the top. This pattern is for the child size 6-10 years and small adult/teen size.

Woodland Fingerless Mittens Crochet Pattern
Child Size approximately 6-10 years old
Wrist Band
Row 1: Ch 11, hdc in second ch from Hook and each chain across in the back “bump” of the chain. (10) turn. See post here for how and why to crochet in the back bump of a chain.
Row 2-14: ch 1, hdc in 3rd loop (camel stitch) each st across (10)
Join first row to last row by slip stitching each st across. To keep the camel stitches look, sl st in third loop of hdc and in the whole chain across. Turn right side out.
Constructing the top

On row 5 when joining to first st join through the first st and the 8th st (from the join) together. Pull your join tight to close up the gap. Those stitches on the left will be your thumb hole. We will get back to that at the end.
