Knitted Baby Mittens

Knitted baby mittens are an adorable and practical accessory for keeping your little one's hands cozy and warm. Not only do they help protect delicate skin from the cold, but they also add a charming touch to any outfit. With a wide variety of colors and styles available, you can easily find the perfect pair to match your baby's clothing or personality. Knitted with love and care, these mittens are soft and gentle on tender skin, making them ideal for everyday wear. Whether you're out for a stroll in the park or snuggled up at home, these sweet little mittens will keep your baby snug as a bug in a rug.

You will need a pair of 4mm knitting needles to make the baby mittens and a needle for sewing up.

I would say that the size of the baby mittens is 0-6m. A little larger than newborn, they will last for several months due to the garter stitch turn up feature.

Lets us get to the free baby mittens knitting pattern.

You will need to know the abbreviations s1, k1, psso to shape the top of the baby mittens. You simply slip one stitch from the left hand needle to the right without working it, then knit 1, then pass the slipped stitched over the knit stitch and drop it. This forms a decrease. The other abbreviations used are just knit and purl.
