Crochet Baby Mitts

I have seen some cute crochet baby mitts lately, and wanted to make some for a new baby ~  but I worry that tiny fingers might get caught in open crochet stitches. I wanted the mitts to look pretty but to be practical too. So I designed a pattern in half treble crochet which gives a denser fabric.

This pattern is written in UK terminology.       tc = treble crochet     . htc = half treble crochet       
 
The first round and the last round are worked in treble crochet, all other rounds are worked in half trebles.

  4. these are wonderful! The pattern was super easy to follow and they turned out really cute! I lined the inside with fleece to help withstand the cold Canadian winter and now they're perfect!

  5. In row 11: should I be putting a 1tc in each chain also? Seems like it's starting to ruffle. Thanks for the pattern! I am so happy with the way it's turned out!

  8. I found using a magic ring less fiddly and I also made a chain instead of using ribbon
