Pin it for later!
Hi. I notice that in the pattern that the toddler and child directions are similar .Rows 13-15 in particular. So where is the difference between the two sizes?.the picture shows the child size a little longer but that is not reflected in the pattern directions.What ages would correspond withe sizes I love the pattern.
The cuff instructions seem to be missing something. Only the chain and first row are there. This doesn’t create a cuff for me.
Donna
Hi Donna, once you make the cuff you fold it in half and sl st the ends together to create the cuff part then work on your mitten from there. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to pint this pattern? I don’t see a spot allowing it to be printed. I”m excited to try it.
When beginning row one for the cuff, do you skip the first stitch, and single crochet in the next five? Or single crochet in all six chains? Thank you!
What size does the baby mittens fit?
Hi, it is for a newborn-about 6 months size.
When it says 2sc is that an inc or is it literally 2 single crochets
That is 2 single crochet in the same stitch, an increase. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this pattern! First for my granddaughters unicorn mittens and now the grandsons spaceman and rocket mittens!
Grateful!
Where are thumb directions for child. The only instructions I see are for Adult mittens. Thank you
