Infant Mittens are for that very first time out in the cold or just to keep that Little One from scratching him/herself in the face.
Infant Mittens are a very quick project. Perfect for a beginner that wants to take it to the next level and learn a few new techniques, eg. working garter stitch in the rounds, incorporate simple cable pattern, knitting through the back loop, top shaping, and ultimately have a fast result. Any scrap yarn that gets the gauge is plenty as well. Should you want them bigger, use slightly thicker yarn/needles.
You can find the pattern for the matching booties on my Ravelry Store and you have a perfect set.
