Free Knitting Pattern for Baby Mittens With Thumb
They are knit on two needles and seamed. They are not knit in the round.
They are designed to go with my double knit weight hat patterns which are for sale on etsy and craftsy
The first two sizes (0-6 months and 6-12 months) are thumbless mittens. The third size (1 – 2 years) has thumbs.
Instructions for the larger thumbless size are in brackets ( )
Materials needed:
25 g double knit /light worsted/8 ply yarn. (11wpi) for one pair of thumbless mittens
35g double knit /light worsted/8 ply yarn. (11wpi) for one pair of mittens with thumbs
Pair of 3.25mm (US size 3) knitting needles
Pair of 4mm (US size 6) knitting needles (main needles)
Gauge/Tension
22sts and 30 rows to 10x10cm (4x4") square in stocking (stockinette) stitch on 4mm
(US Size 6) needles
Please take a little time to knit a tension square. If your square is too small, try knitting again using a bigger pair of needles. If your square is too big, try knitting again on smaller sized needles.

Join top and side seams. Turn back cuffs . 
I haven't given instructions for knitting a cord to attach these to each other, as many people consider them dangerous. You can buy clips in many baby stores to attach the mittens to cardies and coats, which is much safer.
If you do want to make a cord however, I estimate it should be about 70 cms for 0-6months size, 80 cms for 6-12 months size and 90 cms for 1 – 2 year size.
If you want this as a pdf you can download it here
Happy knitting!
