Knit these adorable little lamb baby mittens to keep little hands warm.

These 4 Ply push on mittens have no thumbs for easy dressing!

These picture knits are worked flat and seamed for easy intarsia knitting.
If you are a new knitter and not quite ready to work in intarsia this time, turn this into a simple project by Swiss darning (duplicate stitching) the little lambs onto your mitts after knitting.

This knitting pattern has instructions for the following sizes:
0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months.

Choose any 4 Ply yarn (or sport yarn) that knits on 3.25mm (US3) needles to the tension listed below. The little mittens shown here were knitted in Bergere De France Caline 4ply.

Tension
Stocking stitch
10cms/4 inches = 25-26sts
10cms/4 inches = 34-35 rows

Age / Circumference / Length

15 1/2cm (6in) / 11cm (4 1/4in)
6-12 months
17cms (6 3/4in) / 12cm 4 3/4in)

You will need:
A pair of 2.75mm (US2) single pointed needles
A pair of 3.25mm (US3) single pointed needles
Green = 15 (20, 25) gm
White = 10 (10, 10) gm
Black = 5 (5, 5) gm
Darning/tapestry needle.

This easy to read knitting pattern has separate detailed row by row instructions and picture charts for each size to help to make this pattern super easy.
If you are printing this pattern, just print out the size you are knitting along with the ‘All Sizes pages to save on ink! All pages are clearly numbered and indexed.

I do recommend knitting these mittens flat and seamed with intarsia pictures, but if you only work in the round you could convert this pattern for DPNs and duplicate stitch (swiss darn) the lambs once you have completed the mittens. Each size would need to be 2 stitches less, (you would need to omit the first and last stitch of each row).
