Dragon Scale Mittens Pattern: The Cozy Knit My Kiddo Didn’t Take Off For Years

Posted by Danielle | Apr 22, 2025 | Cosplay, Knit Hacks | 0 |

I bought a pair of dragon scale mittens (fingerless) from Colette Smith for my son Finn when he was around 6-7 years old. They were a huge hit with him and he wore them everywhere: on vacations around the globe (the photo below is us in Mallorca), to school, to breakfast, to the movies, to the playground, to playdates – EVERYWHERE!

If you’re looking for a handmade gift that’s sure to be appreciated by that special kiddo in your life, these dragon scale gloves are the ticket! Colette offers the pattern in three sizes – perfect for daily wear, Halloween, cosplay and more.

Get the pattern via Etsy by Colette Smith, who, by the way, sells the dragon scales on Etsy in a huge range of colors and sizes.
