Softshell Mitten Sewing Pattern – Children & Adults

Sew fleece-lined softshell mittens for children and adults

Softshell helps protect hands from wind and light moisture, while a soft fleece lining adds warmth. Make practical mittens for outdoor play, the journey to school and cool autumn or winter days.

Choose your own colours and prints for a personal finish. The pattern includes six sizes: children’s sizes 1–3 and adult sizes M–XL, with pattern sheets and sewing instructions.

Size guide

Measure hand length from the tip of the middle finger to the wrist, and palm circumference around the widest part of the hand, excluding the thumb. Choose by hand measurements; age and height are approximate guides.

• Children’s size 1: approx. age 4–6, height 104–116 cm; hand length 12–13 cm, palm circumference 14.5–15 cm.
• Children’s size 2: approx. age 6–8, height 122–128 cm; hand length 14 cm, palm circumference 15.5–16 cm.
• Children’s size 3: approx. age 8–10, height 134–140 cm; hand length 15–16 cm, palm circumference 16.5–17 cm.
• Adult M: approx. glove size 7–8.

Softshell usually stretches less than fleece. Choose the larger size if you are between sizes, using thick fabric or prefer more room.
