Romping around outside, discovering the first snow of the year and maybe a little snowball fight - great fun for the whole family. In winter, the clothing must therefore be a little warmer. Accessories such as hats and gloves are a must, as are a scarf, thick trousers and a warm jacket. Children's hands often cool down the fastest, so children's gloves are always important. Here at Crazypatterns you can find lots of colourful patterns for crocheting children's gloves, for example with fingers or as practical mittens.
With our crochet patterns for children's mittens you can quickly create a suitable gift for children - whether you are a beginner or a professional crocheter.

Crochet is almost more fun than knitting or sewing. This is because it is usually relatively easy to learn, and the first successes can be achieved very quickly. Especially baby and children's clothing is ideal as a start, as crochet is much smaller here than for adults. With crochet patterns for children's mittens from Crazypatterns you can create something individual. Maybe as a small gift for a birthday, for Christmas or even in between, when the child needs something new to wear. Experience shows that gloves are often lost, for example at kindergarten or at school. Therefore, it never hurts to always have a spare pair of children's gloves in stock.

If you're relatively new to the hobby, it's best to start with a simple version of children's mittens. With Crazypatterns crochet patterns for children's mittens you will gain many interesting experiences and get better and better with time. Crochet patterns with the easiest level of difficulty can be made in no time at all, for example the following models.
Children's gloves without thumbs are usually only available for very small babies and toddlers. Older children need a little more control over their fingers when they want to play outside. These are crocheted in the classic way like mittens, with the thumb as the only finger. These children's mittens are very practical because they are quick and easy to put on. This simple variant is ideal for children who do not want to put each finger individually into the gloves.
Tip: Children's gloves should not be crocheted too large, but should not be too tight either. Crochet them a little narrower at the wrists or add an elastic band so that the gloves hold well.
Gloves can easily get lost, for example in the cloakroom at school and daycare or in the playground. Gloves always stay on the child when they are connected with a cord. This makes it easy to pull them through the sleeves and put them on and take them off in no time. For the connection, you can crochet a narrow string or choose another sturdy string. It is important that the connection is stable and does not break easily.
Crochet patterns for children's mittens are very classic and easy to make. Choose your favourite colour or ask the child what colours they like best. Bright colours like red, blue or green are popular, but grey, brown or yellow also go down well with kids. If the gloves are to be used for playing outside, darker colours are better than light ones.
Crochet patterns for children's mittens are of course also available in many colourful variations. You can crochet them in a striped design, for example, or just incorporate contrasts. Glitter yarns or yarns in neon colours, for example, are particularly popular when crochet patterns for children's mittens are used as gifts.

With beautiful patterns, gloves for children look even more individual. And there are really many beautiful crochet patterns, you just have to know the techniques for implementing them. While simple bead patterns can already be crocheted by beginners, other crochet patterns are a bit more difficult. Here it is worth taking a look at our Crazypatterns tutorials to learn the patterns suggested in the crochet patterns for children's mittens. Many useful practical tips on difficult crochet patterns are also often a topic in our forum.
Mittens are practical and quick to put on. However, they do not give children the necessary sensitivity in the individual fingers that are important for certain activities. You can therefore also crochet children's mittens with fingers. It is advisable to take the exact measurements of the child's hand beforehand so that the gloves fit perfectly afterwards. The fingers should not be too long, too wide or too tight so that they fit comfortably on the hands.
An extra-long snowball fight, skiing or sledding as well as building a snowman are usually nothing for crocheted children's gloves. Here, thicker and waterproof models are the right choice so that the fingers do not freeze even during prolonged contact with snow and ice.
The ideal gift idea for kids is a whole set with the most important winter basics. Whether it's for the way to school, a winter outing or a visit to the playground - scarf, hat and gloves are a must on cold days. The set is a great gift idea if you coordinate the colours. Perhaps a set with Christmas motifs will also go down well. You can choose from hats with or without a bobble. A good alternative to the classic scarf is a modern loop that is simply pulled over the head.
Tip: Personalise the set with your child's favourite motifs or initials.

With a selection of different colours you stay flexible when you start crochet patterns for children's mittens. The thicker the yarn, the less cold it will get into the mittens. You can use extra soft wool and make them into chic and very warm mittens. However, not all yarns are equally suitable for sensitive children's hands. New wool in particular usually feels a bit scratchy and is more recommended for warm jumpers or thick socks.
