Marly Bird 3-in-1 Knit and Crochet Handwarmers
Everybody loves a good mitten, but what about a mitten that has a removable top or a pair of fingerless mitts? YESSSS! I hear you; those are equally loved. Trust me, I know and because of that, I want to make sure that you know about my 3-in-1 knit and crochet handwarmers patterns. Originally this was a Yarnspirations CAL/KAL but now the free patterns are available for you on their website. Moreover, you have video support for each step of the way, making it easy to make these handwarmers that you can craft in three different styles each.

Mittens, Fingerless Mitts, and Convertible Mittens
Learn three ways to make a pair of hand warmers – six ways if you are bicrafty and can both knit and crochet! I’ve designed a basic pattern that can be turned into a pair of mittens, fingerless mittens, or convertible mittens depending on the finishing techniques that you select. Choose to knit or crochet or follow use both patterns; end up with 1 pair or 3 pairs or 6 pairs of hand warmers you will love.
Customizable Designs For Everyone!
Make a pair for anyone that you want to give a gift to. Make several pairs for yourself. Change up the colors to fit your style and enjoy the fun of making along with others.

Skill Level Required for 3-in-1 Knit and Crochet Handwarmers Patterns
This project was originally a Yarnspirations CAL/KAL. Before those begin, many people ask me, “how good do I need to be at the craft to join in?” I understand that. You want to make sure you can actually make the project before you start. However, oftentimes these patterns have more to do with your drive than your current skill level. The pattern and video support make it so that you can finish these patterns.
Here is my best skill level advice as to what is needed for these knit and crochet handwarmer patterns. If you’re a confident beginner crocheter who is comfortable with making chains and single crochets, then I think you can absolutely do this. If you are an advanced beginner knitter who is comfortable with knits and purls and is ready to try something a little more challenging, then you can do this. The biggest challenge for you will be using the double pointed needles and working the stranded knitting but I go over that in the videos.

Notes For The Knit and Crochet Handwarmer Patterns
SPOILER ALERT: In the videos, I’ve offered some alternative patterns for the body of the hand warmers on my website that might be a little easier for those who struggle with the colorwork on this pattern.
Because I know there are going to be knitters who ask, yes, you can make these fingerless mittens, mittens or convertible mittens with the magic loop technique or two circulars or even 9″ circular needles. I discuss how to do this in the videos but the pattern is written for double pointed needles.
3 in 1 Hand Warmer Video Tutorials
You’ll find 3 knit videos and 3 crochet videos that go with these patterns. These videos are progressive, meaning each video will build upon the previous video as I teach you how to make these fun mittens, fingerless mittens or convertible mittens. Therefore, you want to start with the first video for either craft and move through them accordingly.
Here are those video links:
Join me for one pair of hand warmers or all six! The pattern was designed by me and I must say, I am in love!

Can’t wait! I’d like to use your Yarnspirations affiliate link to buy some RHWL, but can’t find it on this post. Where can I find your Yarnspirations affiliate link? Please and thank you.

Marly, the link to the crochet pattern above did not take me to Yarnspirations.com. Instead it took me to a fraudulent website that tried to install a browser add on and then started an audio warning purported to be from Microsoft saying that my computer had a virus. My computer’s fine; I ran a complete scan, deleted my browsing history and cookies and all is well. Please check on this security issue embedded in the pattern link on this page. Thank you.
