Have I Just Invented a New Stitch Pattern?
So when I set out to make this set, I wanted to use Red Heart Super Saver Brushed and basic stitches, but keep it interesting… little did I know where my hook was going to lead me! Now, for the mittens, it was just a detail, but in the meantime…
I started playing around, combining a little bit of interlocking crochet, maybe a touch of mosaic… and I came up with something I don’t think I’ve seen before. I consulted other designers, but they couldn’t pin it down as one thing either. So if you’ve seen this stitch pattern before, please let me know! As for now, I’m calling the specific stitch a WTr – Woven Treble.
This stitch pattern is created by working two rows of mesh in one color, and then weaving the first row of mesh in the next color through those rows. Yes, there will be a video stitch tutorial! I first figured it out with the scarf pattern – and then translated it for the hat and mittens. I do recommend you try the scarf first when learning this stitch – it’s a lot easier in rows than in rounds.
For the mittens, I wanted to stay practical – so the fun woven stitches are only featured as an *optional* fold up cuff. You can make these mittens plain – without the decorative cuff – to match any crochet hat and scarf set! (And yes, deadlines hit hard – I’ll be adding a few pics with both finished mittens soon hahah!)
