How to Crochet Mitten Christmas Scarf for Kids
Go Studio has prepared the most fun and creative Christmas scarf tutorial I have ever seen! So, learn how to crochet this soft, warm, and elastic mitten keyhole scarf for kids that has a lovely two-layered and stretchy finish. The idea is to crochet a scarf with red mittens on both ends that can be crossed within the scarf for a lovely keyhole pose. You will love the warmth offered by this scarf and the snowflake embroidery on each mitten.
The size is easily customizable to crochet one scarf for each of the family members. It can be rightly called the cute scarf. The stitch provides a balance between mesh and solidity. You can also stuff the mittens for an even softer feel.

All Suggestions for Materials
For remaking this scarf, the tutor has asked to gather the following tools and materials to get the gauge in the same dimensions:
- 3.5 mm Crochet Hook
- 5-Strand Pure Cotton Yarn. (The scarf requires about 100g of yarn). You can use the Milk Cotton yarn or wool also.
- Colors: Red, white, and dark green.
- Tapestry/Sewing Needle (for seaming and weaving in ends).
Crochet Winter & Christmas Scarf Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Both the scarf and the mitten gloves pattern are worked in the rounds. The scarf is constructed using Double Crochet and Chain Stitches for a breathable fabric, also working in chain spaces for the main body. The gloves, on the other hand, need Single Crochet. You will also need to crochet the keyhole with the same method.
Use the Magic Ring to start pieces in the round, the Slip Stitch for joining rounds, and Increases and Decreases for crocheting the scarf as a single piece. Finally, a Half Double Crochet stitch is used for the finishing band on the scarf and the edge on the gloves.
Quick Tips: Most importantly, the tutor says that the scarf’s length is fully adjustable. To change the length, you simply continue repeating the main stitch pattern (established in Round 4) until the scarf reaches your desired size.
You can also choose to crochet only the scarf or only the gloves, or try other crochet ornaments like stockings and a crochet hat.
Pattern Type: A detailed on-screen written pattern and CC is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
Quick Stitch Guides
The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will use for crocheting this Christmas scarf with mittens for beginners:
- Single Crochet (SC): Insert the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Increase (INC): Work two complete stitches (for example, two DC or two SC) into the same stitch or space to widen the fabric.
- Decrease (DEC): Work two stitches together (for example, two unfinished DC or SC) to reduce the number of stitches and narrow the fabric.
- Slip Stitch (SL ST): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on the hook to join rounds.
Other stitches:
- Double Crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert the hook, pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull through two loops twice.
- Half Double Crochet (HDC): Yarn over, insert the hook, pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
