Free Crochet Pattern – Elevation Mitts

by

Let’s talk about a winter essential that combines coziness and style: the Elevation Mitts by Zara Powter! If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying project that screams winter vibes, you’re in the right place.

These mitts are inspired by everything we love about the season—think falling snowflakes and sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire. The pattern uses Wonderfluff, a dreamy bulky yarn blend of baby alpaca, merino wool, and nylon. Translation? These mitts are as soft and warm as they look!

  • Quick to Make: With the thick, fluffy yarn, these mitts practically fly off your hook. Perfect for those last-minute holiday gifts or a weekend project.
  • Modern Vibes: The clean, cozy design pairs effortlessly with any winter outfit, from puffy jackets to sleek wool coats.
  • Multiple Sizes: Whether your wrists are petite or you’re making a pair for someone with larger hands, the pattern has sizes to accommodate everyone.
  • Difficulty: Easy (yay for beginner-friendly!)
  • Hook Sizes: 7.0mm and US J/10 (6.0mm)
  • Yarn: Wonderfluff Bulky, 2 balls (about 284 yards)

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
