Children's Textured Mittens

"Every February it seems I have the same problem! Lost mittens! It started around mid-January, right after the kids return to school from Christmas Break. And it’s nearly impossible to find them in stores. I’m not sure what happens to them, maybe the washer eats them or they are swallowed by the school’s lost and found pit. Well, whatever the reason, I needed more. This is how the Textured mittens came to be! Pattern includes four sizes, including a baby thumbless pair! You will need Loops and Threads Charisma Yarn (Bulky) and an 8mm Hook. They are quick to make!"

Ch 1 at beg of rnd does not count as sc or hdc.

Weave in ends as needed.

I find the knit stitch works best when your tension is kept quite loose. Loose stitches allow for you to insert the hook in the proper space more easily.

– To work in the 3rd loop: In the hdc stitch, the “third loop” is found at the back of the stitch, below the top two loops that you would normally complete your stitch in. When you crochet in this back loop, it should push the top of the stitch from the previous round to the front of your work creating a sideways “knit” look.
