One of my lovely YouTube commenters asked for it, so here it is: a brand new paw gloves crochet pattern for the cutest Cat’s Paw Gloves (or crochet mittens pattern, if you’re feeling extra cozy). I’ve already designed several cat and paw-inspired patterns in the past, so making this one felt right at home, and honestly, such a joy to bring to life.

So without further ado, let me walk you through how to crochet these adorable paw gloves, the perfect project to keep your hands warm and fuzzy this winter!

Paw Gloves Crochet Pattern

Row 1: 25 sc (25)

Row 2: sc inc, 23 sc, sc inc (27)

We will continue on working the thumb part of the crochet mittens pattern now:

Ch 1 then sl st in the first stitch of the other side of the glove, to connect the 2 sides together.

R15: 4 sc, ch 2, count 4 sc starting the end of the previous row then join with a sc in the 4th stitch, 3 sc, sc in the previous ch 1 we made (11 – the ch 2 count as stitches)

R16: 11 sc (11)

Cut yarn and weave in the ends.

Join your yarn back to row 14, on the 1st free stitch available.

Round 15: 27 sc, ch 2 then sl st in the 1st sc of the round (29)

R16 to 20: 29 sc (29)

Now we will make the holes for the 4 remaining fingers of the paw gloves crochet pattern.

R21: 4 sc, ch2, work on the other side of the glove: 5 sc (11)

R22 to 23: 11 sc (11)

Cut yarn and weave in end.

Note: the 2 of them follow the same pattern as written below.

Start working the round on the last stitch you worked your 4th sc for the previous finger before.

R21: 4 sc, ch2, work on the other side of the glove: 4 sc (the 4th sc should be on the 1st stitch on this side of the glove, that you worked on for your previous finger), ch2, sl st in the 1st sc of the round. (12)

R22 to 23: 12 sc (12)

Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Start working the round on the last stitch you worked your 4th sc for the previous finger before.

R21: 10 sc, ch2, sl st in the 1st sc of the round (12)

R22 to 23: 12 sc (12)

Cut yarn and weave in ends.

To cover the holes between each finger: turn your glove upside down, and join yarn with a sc on one side of the hole: 5 sc, ch 1 then turn: 5 sc FLO, cut yarn and sew this to the other side of the hole.

Now we will close the part under the thumb, which is still open.

Join yarn on one side, then make 12 sc. Make the same on the other side.

Cut yarn, then sew them together with a sewing needle. Don’t forget to sew the part just under the thumb, so no hole is left open.

Join yarn with a sc in the 1st stitch of the previous chain base.

Round 1: 25 sc, then add 3 more sc in the sewn part we just made (28)

R2: Crochet around the elastic fabric band for this round: (3 sc, sc inc) x 7 (35)
