Have you ever noticed that babies have scratchy little fingernails? And yet their nails are soft, so they are hard to trim. A helpful solution are baby mittens! And they are cuter than the socks I kept on my two first kids, hah. But I’ve had a hard time finding any at the store, so I decided to make my own. This way I used some scrap fabrics I had and upcycled a couple old t-shirts. I used a handy tutorial provided by Speckled Owl Studio. Follow this link to access the instructions!
Here’s how mine turned out; I think they are cute!
The white pair are made with woven cotton rose fabric for the outside, yellow flannel for the lining, and old t-shirt rib knit for the bands.
The teal pair are made with rosebud flannel, yellow flannel for the lining, and old t-shirt rib knit for the bands.
The pink and black pair are made with woven cotton gingham check, thick stretch knit for the lining, and a thin stretch knit for the bands.
I think the tutorial does a great job explaining how to piece together these tiny creations. The hardest part was sewing everything together, mainly because the seam is so narrow, but you want them narrow enough for a baby’s wrist. I highly recommend this pattern!
