crochet baby mitts pattern

Baby Mitts Pattern (C)MJR 2010

(this came about because my friends grandson needed something warm for his little hands and every pattern I tried looked funny so these are simple and quick you are welcome to use them whatever way you like just remember the rules this is a free pattern do not claim it as your own and if you want let me know if you make them I will visit your page and check them out;) enjoy!!)





ch 15 sl st in first chain to form loop

row 1: ch 3 dc in each ch around sl st to top of ch 3 (15 stitches)

row 2: ch 3 **1 sc 2 sc** repeat in each st till end sl st to top of ch 3 (21 stitches)

row 3:  ch 3 dc in each stitch around sl st to top of ch 3 (21 stitches)

row 4: ch 3 dc in each stitch around sl st to top of ch 3 (21 stitches)

row 5:  ch 3 dc in each st around sl st to top of ch 3 (21 stitches)

***This next row I just kinda winged it you will keep going till the hole is closed or you have 1 or 2 stitches left to close it off if you have any trouble let me know and I will help you out since its kinda sketchy***

row 6: (closing row) ch 1 **sc skip 1 sc1 skip 1 sc1** repeat this until hole is closed tie off work in ends

At this point you can stop if you want or are someone who would rather have baby mitts without strings but here is the optional string pattern if you want to put it on

to attach a string

sl st to top of mitten somewhere hidden ch 65 (you can go shorter or longer I like 65)
sl st to top of other mitten sc back across in each ch tie off work in ends
**you do not really have to do this second row but I like to because it makes it softer and less like a string**

My son also shows another use for the baby mitts they can be ear warmers :)
