Garter Stitch Ridge Baby Mittens


I really love these cute little baby mittens.



These are made for charity - but they would make a great little baby shower gift. They are fast to make, and look great in a wide variety of colour combinations.

What a great way to use up small amounts of yarn left over from other projects.

      Have you tried Knooking? It's knitting using a crochet hook ... look it up on YouTube. Easier than my trying to explain.

      Thank you for your question. These will fit a baby of around 9months.
      (Babies vary such a lot in size that baby mittens are often given as one size)
      I have altered my pattern post to add the length and width of these mittens.
      Hope that helps. M
