Choosing the right yarn for fingerless gloves

Let’s talk yarn real quick…

For the Ashley Faux Fur Mitts, you’ll want something that feels soft and cozy — the kind of yarn you can’t stop squishing. Faux fur yarn steals the show here, but what you pair it with matters too.

🧵 For the hand and wrist sections, feel free to use what you have in your stash — worsted weight acrylic, wool, or even a nice blend will work beautifully. Wool is warm and stretchy, acrylic is budget-friendly and easy to care for, and blends often offer the best of both worlds.

☁️ Cotton can work, especially if you want less stretch or live in a warmer climate, but just know it won’t be quite as soft or warm.

Now for the star of the show…

Faux fur yarn gives this pattern that luxe winter look — and don’t worry, I’ll give you a few tips below to make it easy to work with!

Can I make these crochet mitts?

Let’s call this one “adventurous beginner” to intermediate.

If you’ve never worked with faux fur yarn before, don’t stress! It might feel a little different at first (okay, maybe a lot different 😅), but once you get into a rhythm, it’s surprisingly forgiving — like, hides-all-the-wonky-stitches kind of forgiving.

The pattern uses half double crochet stitches, but in a different way, so the real “challenge” is understanding where to put your hook for the cluster stitches and the faux fur. You’ll definitely have to rely more on feel rather than sight with the faux fur. But don’t worry — I’ve included some tips below to help you through it.

This pattern is available in three sizes, and you can customize the length of the cuff. Have fun mixing fiber and color, if you’re working from your stash. Want to add a little bling? Go for it. These mitts are yours to make fabulous.

And because the construction is simple, this is a great pattern for gift-making — you can whip up a few pair in a weekend so no one feels excluded from the specialness of a handmade gift.

Tips for Working with Faux Fur Yarn

Okay, real talk: faux fur yarn can look a little scary at first — like, where did the stitches go?! 😱

But I promise it’s not as wild as it seems. Once you let go of trying to see every stitch and instead start to feel your way through it, you’ll get the hang of it fast.

Here are a few tips to make your faux fur adventure smooth and stress-free:

1. Use your fingers like eyes

You won’t be able to count stitches the traditional way. Instead, feel for the spaces and trust your tension. After a few rounds, you’ll be surprised at how much easier it gets.

2. Stitch markers are your best friend

Especially when working in rounds, place a marker in the first stitch of each round. This little trick keeps everything on track (and saves your sanity later).

3. Keep the lighting good — but don’t overthink it

Bright lighting helps a little, but don’t strain your eyes trying to “see” each stitch. Faux fur isn’t about precision; it’s about texture. Relax and enjoy the fluff!

4. Practice on a small swatch

If this is your first time using faux fur yarn, try a few practice rows before jumping into the mitts. It’ll help build confidence without pressure.

5. Don’t frog unless you have to

Unraveling faux fur is… not fun. 😅 Try to work slowly and check your stitch count every few rounds if that helps.

💡 Bonus tip: Faux fur hides a multitude of oopsies. Seriously. No one will ever notice if you’re one stitch off — all they’ll see is a gorgeous, fluffy finish.
