Summary:  Mittens are knit in the round in a single tube easy for babies to wear.


Additional Materials Required:


  • 4 size US 9 / 5.5 mm double-pointed needles
  • Stitch marker
  • Yarn needle
  • Cotton-covered elastic in matching color, to keep mittens on (optional)


From Knitting for Baby:  The mittens are more likely to stay on if a piece of elastic yarn is run through the wrong side of the stitches at the wrist.
