As a request from one of my Youtube Channel commenter, I decided to make a super cute design and pattern for gloves: the Cat’s Paw Gloves / Mittens. I already made various patterns involving paws and cats previously, so it was a pleasure to realize this pattern, as it is something I love making. Without further due, let me show you now, how to crochet these cute Paw gloves for this winter.
Material – How to crochet Paw Gloves
- A fluffy type of yarn or faux fur yarn light weighted
- An acrylic yarn of the same color (DK weight)
- A pink acrylic yarn for the paw’s pads (worsted)
- A 5 mm crochet hook
- And 2 elastic fabric bands the length of your wrists.

R22 to 23: 11 sc (11)

Middle finger and Ring finger (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)

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.
Now we will finish the glove by making the bottom part.
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)

For the next parts, I will refer you back to the video tutorial to see how to sew the bow.
Watch from 41:16 :
Sew the bows on the back side of the gloves and you will be finally done! This is how to crochet paw gloves, and even though it looks a bit difficult, it can be done in 1 or 2 day(s) only. So it’s quite a quick project to make.
How cute are these, seriously? And they are so warm, it will be perfect for this coming winter, to keep your hands warm and cozy.
You can make them to gift them to your friends and family too! Let me know in the comments down below how cute you find these and if you plan to make to crochet it in a near future, I would love to know!
