Crochet Mini Mitten Refrigerator Magnet or Ornament Pattern

Several years ago my aunt gave me instructions (she wrote them down for me on a piece of paper) on how to crochet mini mittens that you can turn into refrigerator magnets or holiday tree ornaments. I don't know if it was her original pattern or if she got it from someone else.

With that being said, I am going to post the instructions for you. You can crochet one and glue a magnet on the back to turn it into a refrigerator magnet or you can crochet 2 of them, tie them together and hang them onto your Christmas tree.

Crochet Mini Mitten Pattern

Crochet Hook size F
Multi-Colored Holiday Yarn
Scissors

Note: You will want to work in the back loops unless otherwise stated in the pattern.

Row 1: Starting at the cuff of your mitten, chain 6, sc in 2nd chain from your hook, sc in the last 4 chains, turn. (total of 5 sc)

Row 2-12: Chain 1, sc in each stitch across, turn.

Row 13: You will want to hold the first and last rows together, matching up the stitches, work through both thicknesses, chain 1, slant stitch in each stitch across, do not turn.

You will now be working in rounds instead of rows.

Round 14: For hand, working in end of rows on the cuff, chain 1 , (sc in next row, 2 sc in next row) around, join with a slant stitch in the first sc. (18 stitches)

Rounds 15-17: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around, join as before.

Rounds 18: sc in first stitch, sc in the next 10 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch and then leave the last 6 stitches unworked, join. (13 stitches)

Rounds 19-21: You will repeat rounds 17 and then 16 alternating between the two but starting with round 17 and then ending with round 17.

Round 22: Work this round in both loops, chain 1, sc in each stitch around and then join.

Round 23: Work this round in both loops, chain 1, sc in each of the first 2 stitches, sc next 2 stitches together, (sc in each of next 2 stitches, sc next 2 stitches together) 2 times, sc in last stitch, join.

Leave a 8" yarn tail for weaving and fasten off. Weave end through stitches of round 23, pull to gather, secure the end.

To Make The Thumb

Round 1: Working this round in both loops, sc in first unworked stitch on round 17, sc in next 4 stitches, 2 sc in last stitch, join with a slant stitch in first sc. (total of 7 sc).

Rounds 2-3: Work these rounds in both loops, chain 1, sc in each stitch around, join as before. At the end of the last round, leave 8" of yarn for weaving, fasten off. Weave end through stitches of round 3, pull to gather and secure your end.

Once done, take some tacky glue and glue a magnet onto the back and stick your pretty little crochet mitten on the front of your refrigerator. If you want it to be a tree ornament, thread some satin ribbon or extra yarn through the top to make a hanging loop.

Optional: Cut a 5" piece of solid green yarn and thread it through the stitches to make an accent bow using a tapestry needle. (see photo for placement).
