To the untrained eye (and maybe even the expert eye), these chunky crochet mittens look like they’ve been knit.
This pattern uses the Waistcoat crochet stitch (aka Center Single Crochet), which mimics the look of knit stockinette stitch incredibly well. I like the look of this stitch so much, I created a video tutorial with exactly how to make crochet look like knitting using the Waistcoat stitch.

The Mitten Stitch
If this is your first time trying the crochet knit stitch, definitely check out the waistcoat stitch video tutorial for some helpful tips before crocheting your mittens.
I tried several times to master this technique before finally figuring out a few mandatory tricks to make it successful, and I cover each of those mistakes (and corrections!) in the video tutorial.

Classic Mittens Using Worsted Weight Yarn
To long-time followers of Make & Do Crew, this 3 Hour Mitten pattern might look a bit familiar. Last year, I shared a free pattern and tutorial on how to make very similar lighter-weight crochet mittens with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.
If you have some worsted weight wool in your stash or just want a slightly more delicate-looking mitten, you’ll love the Morning Mittens pattern (pictured below).

Are Mittens The Perfect Crochet Gift?
I know a lot of us are thinking about gift-making this time of year. And if your holiday planning is anything like mine, you might need a gift that can come together at the last minute. Ha.
I wanted to see if I could take the foundation of the original Morning Mittens pattern and create a faster crochet mittens pattern using bulky yarn. I’m so happy with the result because this is a crochet gift I know a lot of us would love to receive–and actually use!
And hiya, this chunky crochet mittens pattern can seriously be whipped up in about three hours! I’m all for quick gratification crochet projects, especially when there’s a holiday deadline looming.
