Free Mitten Pattern Tutorial

1- Assemble and cut out the Pattern

You can find instructions on how to assemble the pattern here.

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Cut out  the pattern pieces for the mitten.  On folded fabric cut out two of each pattern piece for the exterior

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

 On folded fabric cut out two of each pattern piece for the lining.  In the example I used a soft cuddle fur for the lining.

Note: This mitten has a lining so it’s like making 4 mittens.

2- Begin to Make the Mitten

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Assemble the inside (the part that touches the palm, with the thumb.)  

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

 With right sides together, Sew a seam using a .5 inch seam allowance from the bottom of the thumb all the way around to make it a complete half of the mitten.  Repeat 3 more times for the exterior and linings.

Wow this free mitten pattern comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Note:  You can slightly vary the size of the mitten for a better fit by changing the seam allowance to .25 of an inch to make it bigger.

3- Add the elastic

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

I confess I did this step wrong – so the pictures are wrong, but I’m going to make sure that you do it right!   Take the exterior pieces ( there will be 4 total –  two exterior two thumb halves)  For the elastic  I wrapped it around my wrist and pulled it to  a comfortable tightness, and that’s how I got my measurement.

Wow this free mitten pattern comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Cut two lengths – one for each wrist, then cut each length in half.  Using a zig zag stitch sew a length of elastic  in the indentation on the mitten.  You will need to stretch the elastic to fit the width of the mitten, this will cause the mitten to fit better.  

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Note:  We are only doing this on the exterior pieces.  I did this step after I sewed the two halves together and doing it before is a lot easier!

The lining doesn’t have elastic to make a “buffer” against it and make the mitten more comfortable.

4- Sew the front and the back together

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Match up all your mittens and pin the front to the back , with right sides together.  Sew all the way around using a .5 inch seam allowance.  Note;  There is a trick then it comes to sewing around the thumb.  Sew from the bottom until you get to the base of the thumb ( with the thumb flipped up) finish the seam.  

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Then flip the thumb so it’s toward the bottom of the glove and begin the seam again.  

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

This will make the seam cleaner and you won’t catch the thumb in the seam.  Repeat 3 more times with the other exterior and glove linings.

Note:  Again, you can slightly vary the size of the mitten for a better fit by changing the seam allowance to .25 of an inch.

 

5- Bring the lining and the exterior together.

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Trim the and snip the curves at the thumb so the mitten will lay nicely.  With the exterior and the lining of the mitten inside out, pin the bottom right sides together  making sure that is a 1.5 – 2 inch gap for turning.  Sew together using a .5 inch seam allowance – leaving the gap for turning in the free mitten pattern.

Wow this free mitten pattern comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Note:  Make sure that the thumbs are on the same side ( in the picture both of the thumbs are on the left)  this is important!  You don’t want a left inside a right!

6- Finishing up

Wow this Free Mitten Pattern for Fleece comes in sizes kid to adult. What a great DIY idea. They're double lined so you know they'll be warm. I love that this tutorial has a video too! Great fleece sewing project.

Turn the mitten right side out.  Then “stuff” the lining back into the mitten exterior   Hand sew the turning gap shut, trim thread and you’re finished with the free mitten pattern for fleece!

      tried to “cheat” and just attached the elastic to one side and also just attached to the seams… its not as cute nor as snug around the wrist I dont advise. Guess I’ll have to make another pair! 😉

    I made the child’s small for my 3 year old yesterday and found that they run long and narrow. I had to use less than the 0.5″ allowance on the thumb because that made the thumb too skinny (I had to redo that part). I should’ve used less than 0.5″ allowance on the body too because they are narrow. Just letting you know – otherwise the pattern was super cute and fairly easy to make!

      I agree I was not sure if my 3 and 5 year old should be a small or medium, I made both and the thumb was too small and it was with .25 seam….I used a thick liner which did not help. I will remake them with a large or modify so that the glove is fatter and the thumb are fatter since the length is ok.

    Just made a pair of fleece mittens with a flannel liner. Repurposed a thrift store flannel sheet that was plaid with a snowflake pattern. Turned out great! Can’t wait to take a walk outside now in the cold Minnesota winter and try them out. Thanks for this pattern that you shared. Wonderful to have all the different sizes too. It will be fun to try many different combinations and make lots to give to family, friends, and charities.

    May I have permission to make copies of this pattern to give to my students? They’ve requested a small project that would use their scraps of leftover fleece… And this looks fun!.

    The instructions say use a .5 inch seam allowance. Is that correct? Seems like the thumb would be too small even for my 18 month old. Especially with a double layer.

      I’ve used a .5 inch a and .25 inch seam allowance on this pattern. It’s a matter of preference. If you think the mitten won’t work, then use a .25 inch seam allowance ( with mittens it’s better to have too much room, than too little) I will make a note of this in the instructions. Thanks!

      You can make the pattern reversible, the only modification would be to put elastic on both the lining and the outer mitten.

    Re: Other reader’s comment about sewing for people whose hands you can’t measure.

    * First of all, thank you SO much Angel, for this generous and intelligent project. It has made a difference for me! I can make great gifts for so little now!

    * Second, I’d like to pass on how I managed to make this pattern without the hand and wrist of the one I am sewing for, (after measuring a few wrists to get a ballpark idea of size…)

    * I made the inner and outer mittens with different seam allowances so that the inner mitten turns out slightly smaller (e.g. larger seam allowance; I was not consistent but still it helped to do this on the inner side of the mitten, from the tip of the thumb to the inner wrist).

    * The lining affects fit so much. So, to allow the wearer the choice of lining the mitten or not (we live in a relatively warm coastal city)… I never connected the inner and outer mittens. I finished them off separately so that I still have 4 mittens: two that are smaller and lack elastic. I turned the inner mitten’s wrist edge up more than the outer mitten’s edge to hide the lining a bit. This way, if the mitten is too tight, the wearer can still use it unlined, or line it with a $5 cotton mini-glove. If my mitten is too loose, then they can still wear the liner with a bit of elastic tacked and hand-stitched onto the inside (not fun to add, but easier than restitching the whole mitt).

    * Still, if fit is not an issue, I prefer using both layers of mitten together as shown by Angel, which incredibly warm and comfortable. I also expect that connecting the two layers of mitten would add warmth by trapping air between the two layers more effectively. So, if we find that my lined mitten does fit well, I’ll hand-stitch the two layers together.

    Thanks again! You are an angel!

    Hello, and Greetings from the UK

    Thank you for the pattern which I will most definitely try. However, is it possible to make these mittens with another layer of fleece for the lining and also with sherpa fleece because I can’t find cuddle fleece.

    Lovely site. Bookmarked.

    With blessings.

      Hello Cee Jay in the UK ( would love to visit you by the way!)
      I confess I haven’t worked with sherpa fleece ( I have some just have gotten to playing with it yet). It depends on the thickness. So I am sorry I cannot definitively answer your question. 🙁
      I hope you’ll find the fabric you need.

    I really like your “mistake”. That is actually so helpful, because it is the sort of thing I do all the time, and your tutorial is gave us a “heads up”. So, do not take the so called mistake part out of your tutorial. It really is helpful so I can avoid doing the same thing. I am planning to make these for my 96 year old mother whose hands are cold all the time. I want to make some for indoor use, without the lining. Should I use a childs large instead of the women’s?

    I just made the lining part for a pair of mittens my grandmother knitted. I used a half inch seam which made the thumb a little bit on the narrow side, but it fit inside the knitted mittens perfectly. I folded over the edge and hand sewed it inside the cuff. The pattern was super easy to follow and I plan to make a bunch more since my grandma made mittens for all 7 (adult) granddaughters and her 4 daughters.

      I LOVE this tutorial! I know I’m late to the party, but just came acosrs this and can’t wait to try it. I’m TOTALLY not understanding the corners. I’ve read and read and read it over and over, and it’s not coming to me. Can you maybe help me out? These are just adorable!

      Help me understand your question – what corners? 😉

    Hello,

    I’ve been on a search for store purchased mittens that actually work. No luck so far. These mittens look great. I’m going to layer mine with a few more things: Wool Sweater (exterior), Baby Diaper Pants Material (waterproofing), Oven Mitten Material (insulation), Fleece/Flannel (liner). I tried a prototype last night. Didn’t work so well due to space reduction…and talent…or lack thereof the sewer. Will try again tonight. I’ll get there. Very exciting!

    My 97 year old mother needs mittens, lots of them, even though we live in San Francisco. Her fingers don’t work and her hands are cold, and the caregivers put various creams on her hands for her arthritis. So the mittens are needed all the time. Your pattern is wonderful, but I had to stop with my mitten project for her because my own hand stopped working due to really bad thumb tendonitis. I want to tell people there is a a wonderful person on Etsy who makes mittens, and I needed very thin ones and she made them special for me. It was worth it to have her sew them for me. If anyone wants to know her website, just let me know. Carol

    Angel, Thank you so much for the mitten pattern. I had just a little problem (child’s small) getting those curves on the thumb sections to match up. Is there a reason why this seam is curved at the outside (away from the thumb)? It would be a lot easier to sew if it was straight across. Also, if you sew just the first section of the top and bottom together (below the thumb as in your tip) before you apply the elastic, you can put in the elastic in one piece instead or 2 small ones. Stretching across the opened seam allowances. I agree with most of the posters that a 1/4″ SA works better – easier to get around the curves too!

      I subsequently found that I had printed the pdf without unchecking the “fit to page”. Just about 1/4″ difference!

    Just made the fleeced lined mittens and love them. With wind chill temps of 35 below these will come in handy! Thanks for the pattern!

    I’ve tried getting the mittens patterns and the pattern envelope just takes me to holiday projects. Help! Would love to make these to take to one of our local missions.

    I love these mittens! I have made them as gifts for many friends – they all love them, too! I even get friends of friends ordering them from me. I use a heavy fleece for the outside and MICRO FLEECE (think baby clothes) for the inside – works great. Nice and warm! I’ve also used old men’s sweaters for the back of the hand and fleece for the palm. Men like this style a lot! The mittens are great for people that like to walk outside in the winter, especially dog walkers. You can hardly find mittens to buy anymore.
    Thanks so much for the best pattern on the internet!

    My adult son is brain injured and paralyzed in his hands. He asked for mittens because he could not open his hand for gloves. In addition, he could not pull them on. So I put a zipper in the mittens. Trial and error, I put the wide tooth zipper on the thumb side of the mitten. Works great! I would love to post a picture for other persons needing adaptive mittens.

    Just finished your fleece vest. Like it. Now I would like to make something simple for my girlfriend, with material I have left over. I have quite a bit.

    By the way, aty thit this point in your program the screen is jumping, and has been for quite some time. Challenging to say the least.
