Easy – basic stitches, worked in back loop only.

Abbreviations:
- ch = chain

Recommended Resources:
Instructions:
Chain 36.
Row 1 (RS): Working into the back bumps of the chains, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 8 chs, hdc in next 21 chs, sl st in last 5 chs. (9 sc, 21 hdc, 5 sl sts)
Note: All stitches are worked in back loop only for the remainder of the pattern.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sl st in blo of each sl st, hdc in blo of each hdc, sc in blo of each sc. (5 sl sts, 21 hdc, 9 sc)
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in blo of each sc, hdc in blo of each hdc, sl st in blo of each sl st. (9 sc, 21 hdc, 5 sl sts)
Rows 4 – 18: Repeat rows 2 & 3 seven more times, then repeat row 2 once more.
Note: It’s ok to add or remove a few rows here for a better fit if needed, just be sure to end after a wrong side row. The edge where the single crochets are should fit snugly around your wrist.
Fasten off, leaving a 24 inch tail for sewing.
Finishing:
- Fold work in half lengthwise, with right sides together.
- Working through both loops of the stitches on each side, sew edges together with a whipstitch.
- Weave in ends
- Insert ice scraper into the smaller (slip stitch) end.
I hope you enjoy making this pattern.

This looks similar to a “cane mitten” for people who use a white cane that was developed by Orientation and Mobility Instructors at the MD School for the Blind. It worked well for my students at first, but quickly stretched out at the wrist end so that it slid down. Have you had this problem with the ice scraper mitt?
Pia Thadani
Interesting – I have not had that issue, but you could always add some elastic or a drawstring at the wrist if it became a problem
