SKILL LEVEL: Easy/Beginner
A quick and cozy pair of mittens perfect for toddlers! Worked seamlessly from cuff to fingertips with a simple thumb gusset. Knit this pattern in under 2 hours, perfect for holiday gifting, and using leftover DK weight stash.

In this pattern, you’ll learn how to shape a mitten, add stitches for the thumb, and knit a design that fits comfortably on either hand, so there’s no need to worry about right or left sides.
No left/right shaping — easy for kids to put on themselves

• Uses 18–28 g of yarn (nearly any leftover DK works)
• Fully seamless
• Four sizes included
• Great intro to gusset increases

I recommend tracing the toddler’s or child’s hand on a piece of paper before you start. This makes it easier to measure the length of the fingers and thumb accurately, ensuring a perfect fit. If you don’t have the child’s hand available, you’ll find age-based measurement recommendations in the pattern, though keep in mind that children’s hand sizes can vary.

SIZES
1-2 - (2-3) - 3-4 - (4-6) years
Recommendation: Choose the size based on hand circumference (see chart in pattern), not age.

Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm, change to a smaller needle size.
