When I released my snowfall hat a few years ago, I knew I wanted to follow it up with a bunch of designs featuring that snowfall stitch! I figured out how to work the colors in a sc to make it look like a pretty little knit stitch, and the contrasting effect is so pretty.

Crochet mittens were an obvious second choice! The pattern for these snowfall mittens includes sizing for men, women and children. The pattern feature a double thick ribbed band for extra warmth!

I wasn’t super thrilled with how the heather gray and white mittens turned out, I would suggest choosing yarns that have a bit more contrast! You want those cute little knit stitches to pop.

  1. Hi again. When doing the sl st to join the cuff and create the tube, do you join through both loops of each side? Inside loops (the ones closest to each other)? Back loops? Front loops? Do you have photos of this process?

    Thanks!

  2. Hey Bethany, I keep reading the pattern and I don’t see how to do them in child’s size, it says adult men and women. Am I missing something?

  3. I have read and reread the instructions but cannot comprehend the folding part. Am I suppossed to slip stitch the end of the rows or fold it and slip stitch the pretty little v’s? I really feel bad bothering you because it’s probably right in front of me but I just don’t see it. I folded it with the ribbing vertical .

    I saw the hat and want to make 2 of those too . Great pairing:)

    1. Don’t feel bad! I am here to answer questions. You slip stitch it into a tube (ribbing going vertically), then fold it up, like your are about to turn it inside out, but meet the two raw edged together (ribbon still going vertically). The first rounds on the body of the mittens will be going through two layers of the band, sewing it together. Does that make sense?

      1. Thank you Bethany I did it and the cuff is beautiful. I love the thickness so warm and toasty. Now just to finish 2 mitten pairs. Your instructions are perfectly clear … I don’t know how i didn’t see it.

        You are quite a talented gal you know.

      2. Bethany, I am wondering if there was a video somewhere for the mittens? Thank you for your time, I know you are busy.

        Sincerely, Renee

  4. When making the child size, it says to refer to the adult size to finish the ribbed band, but the instructions for folding the ribbed band in half is the first thing in the adult section under Mitten Body. It doesn’t have those instructions under Mitten Body in the child size, so by the time I realized it I was already several rounds into the mitten body. I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you wanted to add it to the Child size instructions so not so observant people like myself don’t skip that part lol.

    1. I don’t currently, but I can’t believe I haven’t made a hat to go with these mittens! I will get that maybe next week or the first week in January. Sorry!

          1. On the subject of patterns, is there a way to turn these mittens into “texting” mittens. I’ve been crawling the web for patterns with a flip back thumb only. I found a pattern for texting gloves, but I want to make mittens LOL. I thought it would be simple enough to just wing it, but from the look of these stitches, I’m not so sure. Would I work fewer stitches and do a sort of tidy edge before creating a thumb cap that is only half attached?

            Now, let’s add to the mix that I’m a lefty so I have to invert/reverse/read opposite every pattern I use. Fun times!!

            Thanks!!

          2. That would be great! I have no advice on how to do that, however, I am sorry! The thumb is just sc, so I think it wouldn’t be as daunting as you think :)

  5. When you go into row 4, do you still carry the second color around? I can see my second color all through the double crochet’s.

  6. Thanks,

    These turned out great for my little one. I’m a pretty basic crocheter and I found this straight forward to follow. Except maybe the thumbs, I think I might have “freestyled” a bit there but they fit a thumb so I’ll call that a success :)

    Thanks again,
    Anne

  7. I am having trouble with the thumb part.
    1. Ch 2. Work a 2-dc cluster (basically a dc2tog worked in one st) in same st. 2-dc cluster in next 4 sts. Turn mitten 90 degrees clockwise. Using the dc that is now facing horizontally as 2 st spaces, work a dc2tog. Turn so your mitten is upside-down. Sc 5. Turn again, and work another dc2tog using the dc on the other side of the thumbhole. Join with beginning st (12 sts)
    This step has me confused as soon as we turn the mitten. Not quite sure where to work the dc2tog to. Any insight?
    Thanks
    NIcole

    1. Because you worked the thumbhole on the dc row, the dc will be on the side of the hole. That is where you work the dc2tog, treating the dc as two stitch spaces.

        1. You have a hole where you chained and didn’t work dc’s. This is the thumbhole. The thumb is not a separate piece that is sewn on later, it’s worked directly on the mittens. Join your yarn on the bottom of the hole the first sp where you began working chains instead of dc’s. Work across that, but since the thumb is round, you will be working a circle, so you need to go around, and you can’t skip a large space like the height of the row, which was worked in dcs, so you will work a dc2tog there. Does that make more sense?

  8. Are you sure in ribbed band there should be 25 ch? Because when I’m doing this it comes out a bit too long :(

      1. Hello I started my 1st mitten but I am having a hard time understanding how to make the cuff… I completed the 22 rows and slip stitchedd but ripped the sl st part back out because I think I folded it wrong. I am a beginner and really want to make these. Can someone explain (as if I’m 2) I’m 49 but feel 2 learning to crochet please?

        We’re about to have a little snow event here in SC and would love to suprise my daughters 22 and 29 with these before the snow starts Fri. ( I know I’m pushing it. Maybe I will have have 1 mitten made by then and they can share it. :) These mittens are so beautiful and I want to impress them .

        1. Angela, did you figure it out? I literally just spent about 30 minutes trying to make sense of it (I slipstitches both cuffs different ways, so I had to rip out and start over as well :) ) but i think i finally figured it out! Let me know if you need help!

  9. Thanks for sharing this pattern. You could always use the duplicate stitch to add the snowflake pattern if you can’t use the tapestry crochet technique. It is a fiddly stitch to master, just a thought.
