How to Crochet Baby Mittens! 

If you want to cre­ate a unique and prac­ti­cal gift for a new­born or enhance your cro­chet skills, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ll explore all aspects of craft­ing baby mit­tens, from choos­ing suit­able mate­ri­als like worsted weight yarn and the appro­pri­ate mm hook size to using essen­tial cro­chet tech­niques like slip stitch (sl st) and sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es.

You’ll find affil­i­ate links with­in this post. If you decide to pur­chase through these links, I may earn a mod­est com­mis­sion at no extra cost. Addi­tion­al­ly, please review my pri­va­cy policy[1] for more details.

Crochet Baby Mittens

To start this delight­ful project, you’ll need essen­tial sup­plies like a long tail, a stitch mark­er, and a tapes­try nee­dle. We’ll guide you through cre­at­ing the cru­cial ele­ments of baby mit­tens, includ­ing the mit­ten cuff, body, and top. Our detailed instruc­tions will ensure you achieve the per­fect fit for those tiny hands.

We’ll pro­vide a free cro­chet pat­tern for 0–3 month-old baby mit­tens and a step-by-step guide, includ­ing cre­at­ing a thumb hole and using a mag­ic cir­cle to start. If you’re unsure about the dif­fer­ent hand ori­en­ta­tions, don’t wor­ry; we have instruc­tions for both the right and left mit­ten. Through­out the process, we’ll high­light the impor­tance of the first stitch, the back loop, the front loops, and the use of a small­er hook for pre­ci­sion.

My cousin has a baby girl, so I want­ed to make mit­tens for her baby so her baby would­n’t scratch her face. These were a life­saver with my babies and are so easy to make. Make them for a boy or girl!
