Crochet Baby Mittens

Hi, Friend! 

Today I am posting the "recipe" for my newborn to infant baby mittens. They are so cute and precious. 

These are lovely gifts for a baby shower. You can also make a half dozen or so to match each of your baby outfits when you are pregnant. I purposely make these in worsted weight yarn because then when you make most other baby patterns you can crochet a pair of these out of the scraps of your yarn. 

If you have any questions please let me know!

Fingerless Gloves - Free Pattern and Fun and Easy Crochet Tutorial

J/6.00  mm Crochet Hook
3.5oz of Bulky Yarn

Scissors

Yarn Needle

Gauge: 4" x 4" Square is 12 stitches wide and 7 1/2 rows tall.

Glove Uncuffed is 10" long and 4" wide

Note:At the end of each row "chain one loosely and turn" is implied unless told otherwise.

This is for a medium set of gloves. If you want larger then add an additional 2 rows of HDC. I had enough yarn leftover from the 3.5 oz to do this so you should not need to buy more.

Create the Body of your Gloves

Chain 27,
Row 1 HDC in third chain from the hook. HDC in each stitch across (25)
Row 2-15 HDC in each stitch across (25)

Turn your work and single crochet one time into the side of each row (15-19), 

Sew up the sides of your gloves

Fold your work in half, right sides together. 

"Sew" them together with a single crochet in the first 5 stitches. 

(what we do next with form the thumb hole)
Single Crochet in the next five stitches on only one side of the glove (not sewing the two layers together. 

Then proceed to sew the glove together with single crochet stitches in the last 15 stitches

Fasten off. 

Turn the glove right side out. Make a two inch cuff on the bottom of the glove and enjoy!

Repeat the pattern for a second glove.

Let me know if you have any questions?

These are very versatile. They can be adorned with bows, buttons, ribbons...the possibilities are endless. Tag me on social media so that I can see them if you make them.

Thank you for joining me and I hope that you stay warm and joyful.
