How to Add a Liner to your Crochet (or Knit) Mittens

I adore crochet mittens! I love having the freedom to style them however I want.

They can be made to match a jacket, they can be striped, you can add pom poms or appliques... anything!

However, I live where it snows, so crochet mittens rarely take me past the Fall weather; unless I add a liner!

You can use various fabrics for lining, but I think the best is fleece (anti-pill, blizzard, sweatshirt, micro). You will especially want to use fleece if these mittens will be used in the snow.

Some other fabrics you can use are Sherpa, brushed cotton, thermal, and flannel (keep in mind that flannel does not stretch, which can make them a bit stiff).

The great thing is, you can cut up old fleece coats, sweatshirts, or even blankets, and re-purpose them! I'm a sucker for re-purposing projects!

So, now that we have the fabric basics, let's line some mittens!
