I just love baby mittens because they keep newborns from scratching their faces during sleep. I always love including these mittens in a set for new mommies! They are super quick to work-up and are easy skill level. I suggest for a more tight look and no top holes showing to begin with a Magic Circle.<br />
<br />
Try learning the Magic Circle from the following YouTube Video. It is very difficult to learn it from a readable tutorial, it is an art you must see first hand. In my opinion, I think of a Magic Circle as a slip knot that has not been closed. You just start your stitching right away in the slip knot instead of doing a chain circle!<br />

Crochet Baby Mittens Pattern<br />
Hook Size: 3.5mm<br />
Yarn: Please note I am located in India and yarns are very different than in UK and USA. We go by ply and I always give my best estimate of what weight to use in other parts of the world. For this project I used Vardhman Baby Soft 2-3ply yarn. In UK/US it would be a baby weight yarn.<br />
Weight: I used about 5 grams of yarn for both mittens.<br />
<br />
1. Begin with Magic Circle and chain 3, then 15 DC. Pull tight and start with Row 1.<br />
<br />
Row 1: 2 DC in each DC with first DC in Ch 3 space;<br />
Sl St to join in top of Ch 3<br />
<br />Row 2 - Row 7: Ch 3<br />
1 DC in each DC<br />
Sl St in top of Ch 3 space<br />
<br />Row 8: Sk 1 st using a sl st<br />
5 DC in 2nd DC from hook, sk 1, 1 sl st<br />
* 5 DC in next DC, sk 1, 1 sl st* Repeat around<br />
Sl St 2X, Ch 1 and finish off & weave ends<br />
<br />
For cord make a chain of 35, knot off and weave into Row 6<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="hide-if-no-js" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">I am always looking to do some recycling and
when it comes to my LO’s hair accessories, well let’s just say she is a
monster! So, I started making the butterfly, flower and heart crochet
pieces and attaching them (not permanently either because she likes to
tear them off and I thought it would be best if they were durable) to
the CLIP.</span></div>
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">
</span><div class="hide-if-no-js" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">The smaller the hook the smaller the butterfly.
I use any color and a green, black or brown body. I use scrap yarn as
they require a very small amount to make.</span></div>
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">
</span><div class="hide-if-no-js" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">I made these with medium weight (remember I’m
in India and don’t have a lot of fancy yarns) and a 3.25 hook because I
ran out of hooks and they are VERY HARD TO FIND in India.</span></div>

<span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><strong>ATTACHING TO HAIR CLIP IS EASY:</strong>
YOU WANT TO KEEP A LONG PIECE OF YARN TO ATTACH TO TH E HAIR CLIPS BY
WRAPPING THE YARN AROUND THE HAIR CLIP WEAVING IT IN AND OUT UNTIL IT IS
FIRMLY SECURE. THEN KNOT AND CLIP. MAKE SURE WHEN YOUR FASTENING THAT
THE CLIP GOES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THERE IS A RIGHT CLIP AND A LEFT
CLIP. MAKE ONE OF EACH FOR EACH SIDE OF HEAD.</span></div>
