Baby-Fäustlinge „Tiny Heart“

Tiny Heart Baby Mittens is an easy knitting pattern for thumbless baby mittens with detailed step-by-step instructions. The pattern includes 3 sizes, from newborn up to 12 months.

The English pattern comes in two versions, one for knitting flat and one for knitting in the round, and you get both PDF files. Worked flat, the mittens are knitted back and forth and seamed together at the end. Worked in the round, you use double-pointed needles or the magic loop technique. The heart motif is made with purl stitches and appears on both sides of the mittens.
