Striped Baby Mittens

As promised, these are the mittens I made to match the baby hat I posted about previously. I actually made these the same week I finished the hat, but life has gotten busier and busier so this is just getting posted now. With these I followed the sizing and decreases from The MuckyMacBook , but changed the rest of the pattern to get the look I wanted. These were really easy and made the pair when I was sitting around one Saturday morning.  These mittens were sized to match the hat, meaning both are for the 0-3 month range.

Thread yarn through remaining stitches and sew mitten together using mattress stitch. I switched from white (B) to black (A) after the first stripe from the top so I could fasten the final stitches tighter than just weaving in the ends. I also sewed it wrong side out to better hide the ends. Weave in all ends when finished.

This was my first attempt at these mittens which is why I say they are so easy. These also make amazing gifts. I gave a similar pair to a friend for her newborn and her 18 month old loved them (though they were pretty small for her) and wanted to keep them herself. I've decided to try out baby booties next to keep making my collection more complete. I figured by the time I get around to having kids I should be able to make just about anything if people keep having babies for me to make things for. Hopefully, the baby booties will come along in a timelier manner, but for now have fun knitting and hope your friends and/or babies love these!
