These little car baby mittens are just so cute! Toot..Toot!
They also 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, you can turn this pattern into a simple project by Swiss darning (duplicate stitching) the little cars 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. These mitts are perfect for those tiny amounts of yarn in your stash! The grey mittens shown here were worked in Bergere De France Caline 4ply. The Blue mittens are worked in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino

You will need:
A pair of 2.75mm (US2) single pointed needles
A pair of 3.25mm (US3) single pointed needles
15 (20,25) gm of mid grey (Main Colour)
5 (5,10) gm of red (1 x cuff and 1 x car)
5 (5,10) gm of orange (1 x cuff)
5 (5,5) gm of blue (1 x car)
2 (2,2) gm of light green (to knit two rows in cuff)
2 (2,2) gm of white (to knit 2 rows in cuff)
2 (2,2) gm of black (for the wheels)
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 cars 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).
