crochet handwarmers for little girls

very simple handwarmers for little girls
****************************************



*this pattern cam about because I searched the internet for a handwarmer pattern or armwarmer pattern for little girls and came up with only 1 which did not suit my needs my Mazzy is always cold and her little hands are like ice she needed something she could wear that would keep her hands warm but let her do schoolwork and such so I came up with these she loves them and they are so simple to crochet this pattern will fit a little girl or boy if you use other colors age 4 to 7 depending on their hand size remember this is a free pattern respect my rights and do not claim it as your own you are free to make as many as you want and if you sell any give me credit for the pattern thanks :)*

Mazzy's handwarmers
*******************

materials: yarn of any color this pattern won't use a whole skein, crochet hook size F, scissors, and super glue just for making the knots sturdy when you are done I just dab a little on the knots and blow it dry cuz my kids are very hard on things and that helps keep the knot secure

skill level: easy beginner must have basic crochet skills

(you make 2)

foundation row: chain 19 turn sk 1st ch dc in each stitch to end ch 1 turn

row 1- 12: **dc in each st down to end ch 1 turn** (repeat row 12 times)

finish: tie off dab on glue if you want make sure all stitches are secure weave in ends fold in half so stitches are going across instead of up and down stitch or crochet together leave hole for the thumb you can single crochet around the hole to make it stronger if you want tie off weave on ends
***I will do another small tutorial later for different styles and embellishing so you can see how to make them unique to your child's taste and I will give you different sizes too***

 

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 :)
