Finished Size
These crochet baby mitts are designed to fit a newborn. If you’d need something a bit bigger, you might like these baby mittens for a 3-6-month-old.
The Yarn
I used Red Heart: Baby Hugs Light. It is a light #3 Dk weight yarn for babies. It has been discontinued, but any similar baby yarn should work as a substitute.
