For those tiny newborn hands with tiny razor sharp newborn nails, these scratch mitts are the perfect baby shower gift. Pair these mittens with a cute hat for a layette set to make any mother’s heart swell.

For this pattern you need roughly 10 grams/60 yards of soft, washable fingering weight yarn. Any sock yarn would be fantastic! You will also require about 6 yards of scrap yarn. Each small paw pad requires about half a yard, the large ones require about a yard.
