Knit 1, purl 2

Hi everyone, Here is another free knitting pattern for you! You can tell we have been having really rubbish weather here in the UK as I’m still in winter mode with baby mittens! However, I’ve had a few customers like the idea of knitting something to go with a baby hat, so I thought the mittens would be ideal for this. Even in summer some babies need to wear scratch mittens, and these would do the job perfectly if knitted in cotton. They are knit on two needles and seamed. They are not knit in the round. They are designed to go with my double knit weight hat patterns which are for sale on etsy and craftsy The first two sizes (0-6 months and 6-12 months) are thumbless mittens. The third size (1 – 2 years) has thumbs. Instructions for the larger thumbless size are in brackets ( ) Materials needed: 25 g double knit /light worsted/8 ply yarn. (11wpi) for one pair of thumbless mittens 35g double knit /light worsted/8 ply yarn. (11wpi) for one pair of mittens with thumbs Pair of 3.25mm (US size 3) knitting needles Pair of 4mm (US size 6) knitting needles (main needles) Gauge/Tension 22sts and 30 rows to 10x10cm (4×4”) square in stocking (stockinette) stitch on 4mm (US Size 6) needles Please take a little time to knit a tension square. If your square is too small, try knitting again using a bigger pair of needles. If your square is too big, try knitting again on smaller sized needles.

Turn back cuffs. I haven’t given instructions for knitting a cord to attach these to each other, as many people consider them dangerous. You can buy clips in many baby stores to attach the mittens to cardies and coats, which is much safer. If you do want to make a cord however, I estimate it should be about 70 cms for 0-6months size, 80 cms for 6-12 months size and 90 cms for 1 – 2 year size.
