We're well and truly into autumn now and those chilly days just aren't letting up at all! I've had this pattern half written for some time but just never got round to writing it up and getting it tested. I had originally started this in DK, but it just felt really thin and loose so I had some King Cole Shadow chunky left from a cardigan and decided it would be a great to have some matching mits and so the chunky criss cross fingerless mitten was born. I intend to adjust the pattern for flip mittens and also make the same style available in children's sizes but for now here's a free version of the ladies fingerless mits seen as it's ready and maybe soon I'll expand it into more variations. You are welcome to use this pattern to make items for gifting and/or selling, however please do not redistribute the pattern and instead share a link to this page :)

What you’ll need Size 5.5mm hook Chunky yarn – I Used King Cole Shadow Chunky Darning needle and scissors for cutting and weaving in your end Abbreviations SC – Single Crochet (UK Double Crochet) HDC – Half Double Crochet (UK Half treble crochet) DC – Double Crochet (UK Treble Crochet) BLO – Back loop only SS – Slip Stitch CH – Chain
Notes
HDC through both loops on the last stitch of the row will give your cuff a neater edge
CH1 does not count as your first stitch. R4 uses a criss cross stitch. Photos to help on the last page if needed so that you can print the patter without images to save ink if needed. So that the seam is on the side of the palm on both mitts Row 7 is different for each hand.
Let’s Begin
Cuff Row 1 - CH10. HDC in the 3rd CH from the hook and HDC to the end (8HDC and the CH2 for a total of 9stitches for the next row) Row 2 – CH1 (does not count as your first stitch), HDC in BLO in the next 8, HDC in the top of the CH2 from Row 1. Row 3 – CH1, HDC in BLO in the next 8, HDC in the last stitch (through both loops) Row 4 - 14 - Repeat row 3 Fold in half, CH1, SS through the back loop of the HDC and through the starting CH to join both sides together. Now is a good time to check it fits over your wrist. If it doesn’t you can add an extra row or 2 (or go up half a hook size to make your stitches more loose and stretchy) Flip the cuff inside out so that your seam is now on the inside. You will now be working in rounds around the OUTSIDE of your cuff to create the hand section. R1 – CH1, SC evenly around the cuff to create 24 SC R2 – CH1, SC around, SS to join (24)
R3 – CH1, SC around, SS to join (24)
R4 – CH2, *Skip 2 and DC in the third, DC in the next stitch, DC in the first skipped stitch, DC in the second skipped stitch* repeat from *to* all the way round. You should have 6 crosses (24) R5 – CH1, SC around, SS to join (24)
R6 – CH1, SC around, SS to join (24) RIGHT HAND R7 – CH1, SC in the next 19, CH4, SK4, SC in the last stitch, SS to join.
LEFT HAND R7 – CH1, SC in the first stitch, CH4, SK4, SC in the next 19, SS to join.
