The Yarn
The yarn used to crochet the Heavenly Herringbone Crochet Mittens pattern is Swish worsted weight from WeCrochet. Swish is a 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool. It’s a worsted weight yarn #4 weight and is on the light side. This yarn is so soft and squishy it should have been named squish instead of swish. For an extra thick and fuzzy mitten add a strand of Aloft super kid mohair.
Substitutes
If you’re looking for a yarn substitute I’ve listed a few that I think will work well. Make sure to meet the pattern gauge of 9 sts and 7 rows in 2″ when crocheting the crochet mittens so that the sizing will be correct.
#4 yarn, 70% Superwash Wool, 30% Nylon
100g/198yards
#4 yarn, 80% Acrylic 20% Superwash Wool
100g/208yards
#4 yarn, 100% Premium Acrylic
100g/218yards
100% Peruvian Highland Wool
50g/110yards
The Hook
I used the Majestic wooden crochet hooks from WeCrochet. They come in a crochet hook set with 8 sizes ranging from 3.5mm to 6.5mm. I find them easy to work with and very well suited for crocheting the herringbone single crochet stitch.

Construction
The Heavenly Herringbone Crochet Mittens are worked from the cuff up. The cuff is worked in rows from the side across and then joined. The mitten is worked in rounds, and each round is turned for the herringbone effect. The mitten and thumb can easily be customized for a long or shorter fit—tutorial for toddler size on YouTube https://youtu.be/flB8hJ-trTA.
