Griddle Stitch Mitts

 Griddle Stitch Mitts

Materials
‣ 1 skein of sport-weight yarn (I used Premier Yarns Serenity Garden (Sport) in Earth )
‣ 3.75 mm crochet hook
‣ Stitch marker or contrasting yarn to mark the beginning of each round

Gauge
10 stitches x 9 rows = 2 x 2 in griddle stitch pattern

Size
These mitts fit medium to large adult hands. Thicker yarn and/or larger hook can be used to create a
larger size, and thinner yarn and/or smaller hook can be used to create a smaller size. See the project
notes on the last page for additional sizing options.

For this project you should be familiar with ch, sl st, sc, dc, working in the back and front loops, and
working in the round.

After the cuff, this project is worked in the round. Do not join at the end of the round or turn the piece,
except where instructed to do so in the pattern. As you work, move your stitch marker up to the first
stitch of each new round as you get to it. Make 2 mitts using the pattern on the following page.

Abbreviations & Stitches Used

sc single crochet (US terminology)

dc double crochet (US terminology)

BLO back loops only

FLO front loops only

ch chain stitch

sl st slip stitch

Cuff

Ch. 13.
R1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, sc 12. Ch. 1, turn.
R2-38: In BLO, sc across (12). Ch. 1, turn.
To connect the two ends of the cuff: sl st through both layers across (12)

NOTE: The griddle stitch pattern is that you sc in every dc from the previous round, and dc in
every sc from the previous round. By the nature of this stitch pattern, you ll have an odd
number of stitches for each round and each round will alternate starting with a sc or a dc.

Mitt

Ch. 1.
R1: sc 39 st evenly around the edge of the cuff. (39)

R2-8: (sc 1, dc 1) around without joining at the end of each round. (39)
[alternate which stitch you start with each round to maintain the griddle stitch pattern. Ex: R2 will be (sc
1, dc 1) around, R3 will be (dc 1, sc 1) around, R4 will be (sc 1, dc 1) around, and so on.]

R9: (dc 1, sc 1) in each of the next 2 sts. (dc 1, sc 1) around for the remaining 37 sts. (41)
R10: (sc 1, dc 1) in each of the next 4 sts. (sc 1, dc 1) around for the remaining 37 sts. (45)

R11-17: (dc 1, sc 1) around. (45)

[alternate which stitch you start with each round to maintain the griddle stitch pattern]

R18: Ch. 3, skip first 11, then dc 1 in the 12th st (this creates the thumb hole). (sc 1, dc 1) around. (37)
R19: In BLO of 3 ch. sts: dc 1, sc 1, dc 1. In both loops now: (sc 1, dc 1) around. (37)

R20-24: (sc 1, dc 1) around. (37)

[alternate which stitch you start with each round to maintain the griddle stitch pattern]

Sl st in next st. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Thumb

Join your yarn to the 1st stitch of R17 of the mitt (at the opening of the thumb hole)
R18 {thumb}: (sc 1, dc 1) in first 11 sts, then dc 1 into the side of the mitt before the ch sts to add one
more stitch. In FLO of the 3 ch sts: (sc 1, dc 1, sc 1). (15)
R19 {thumb}: (dc 1, sc 1) around. (15)
R20 {thumb}: (sc 1, dc 1) around. (15)

Sl st in next st Fasten off. Sew up any gaps where the thumb meets the rest of the mitt, weave in ends.

Project Notes

This pattern is easily adjustable by changing yarn and hook size OR by adjusting the length of each
piece.

You can work more rows on the cuff as needed for your wrist size. If you add rows to the cuff, adjust the
the mitt accordingly. It should always be an odd number of stitches, so if you worked an odd number of
rows for the cuff, work the SAME number of stitches for your starting round of the mitt. If you worked
an even number of rows for the cuff ADD 1 to the number of rows and work that many stitches for your
starting round of the mitt.

If you need a longer mitt, you can add more rows to the mitt and thumb pieces. Just remember to
maintain the griddle stitch pattern throughout by alternating which stitch you start with on each round.

If you need a larger thumb hole, you can add more increases to rounds 9 and 10 (or wherever they re
most comfortable) by working both a sc and dc in the same stitch for each increase. Work an even
number of increases to maintain the griddle stitch pattern. Use the griddle stitch pattern to decide
whether you should do a sc or dc FIRST for your increases.

When in doubt, know that you should always be working a sc into each dc of the previous round, and
working a dc into each sc of the previous round.
