Hi Crocheters! I decided to update the images for Daddy’s Simply Easy Mittens and to reformat the pattern to match the current pattern style on the blog. The pattern itself has not changed – just the aesthetics 🙂 This is my go-to pattern for men’s mittens and my husband still loves his pair! I definitely recommend making these mittens for any adult with medium to large sized hands.

Make these easy-to-crochet mittens for men with your favorite bulky weight yarn!
