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!


Materials

Size 4, Worsted Weight Yarn.  

I used Caron Simply Soft https://amzn.to/3nXbyE1

Clover Soft Touch Hooks (size G/4.0 mm): https://amzn.to/3hwe7dL

Scissors: https://amzn.to/2PfPeqf

Yarn Needle: https://amzn.to/35gjx5T

Tape Measurer: https://amzn.to/2PgYB9l


Notes:


Work in a Spiral.

do not slip stitch, turn or chain to begin a new row unless directed to.

Chain 2s do not count as stitches in this pattern.


Directions:

Start with a Magic Circle

Row 1: Chain 2 and DC 10 times into the Circles and Cinch it up. (10)


PLACE MARKER TO NOTE AREA WHERE THIS AND ALL ROWS WILL BEGIN. I USE THE TAIL OF MY YARN AS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO.


Row 2: SC and HDC in the first stitch, 2 HDC in the remaining stitches (20)

Row 3: *HDC in first stitch, 2 HDC in next stitch* repeat * to * around. (30)

Row 4-10: HDC in each stitch around

Row 11: *HDC in first stitch, DecHDC over next two stitches* repeat * to * around. (20)

Slip Stitch into the first HDC of the row, chain 2

Row 12: DC around, Slip Stitch into the first DC of the row, chain 2 (20)

Row 13: *Front Post Double Crochet in the first stitch, Back Post Double Crochet in next stitch* repeat * to * around. (20)

Slip Stitch into the first stitch of the row and Fasten off.

Newborn HDC Hat - Free, Easy Crochet Pattern for Beginners!



How to Make the Half Double Crochet Beanie!

Baby hats are the cutest thing in the world. Opinionated? Yes. But, they are soft, warm little things and they take barely any time or yarn. If you or someone you know are expecting you just have to make one. It was my first project ever for my "little bean" (he is 9 now and has an impressive collection of hats).

A picture? Ok...if you insist!




Ok. I am back on focus! The hat!! This hat is a fast and easy pattern that you can literally dress up in any way! You can make this into a character, add a button or bow. Make it a little longer and flip the brim. (Yes, the brimmed beanie pattern is on the way. Lots of request after the one I shared. Just waiting for the sunshine).

The pattern is newborn to 3 months size. Go up to a hook size if you want it to fit 3-6 months!

I used Lion Brand Vannas Choice. But, any Size 4 Medium Weight Worsted Yarn is fine. I talk about yarn choices and how they effect the hat in the video. Also, I discuss how to measure before you add length to be sure that you will end up with the right size! Come visit me on youtube!




Now what you will need:


Materials:
1 Skein Size 4 Worsted or Aran Weight Yarn (Red Heart Super Saver or Vanna's Choice work well!)
1 Size I/9 5.5mm Crochet Hook
1 Yarn Needle
1 Scissors
