• Suitable for beginners

Knit Baby Mittens - in a brilliantly simple way!

The very littlest ones will still need mittens for a few more months, because those tiny hands always have to be kept nice and warm on the daily stroller ride...

With my new pattern, you can knit baby mittens super easily! No set of double-pointed needles, no purl stitches! Even as a beginner, you can make them easily and quickly!


Click here for lots more photos and details!

The yarn is a classic - I've already knitted miles of it! Here you can conjure up a wonderful, personalized accessory for
your baby, because the yarn comes in over 100 colors and
color gradients!

Why are these mittens so brilliantly simple and so great for beginners?

• they are knitted completely in garter stitch - so you only need to knit knit stitches

• they are knitted only in rows back and forth and sewn together later (but you can hardly see it at all) – you do not have to work with a set of double-pointed needles here
• at the end, you only have to weave in 2 ends per mitten - everything is knitted in one go and sewn together
• the pattern is written in great detail and with lots of pictures - it's important to me that every beginner has fun and success with it
• you only need one skein for this project, and it goes super fast - you can easily finish one mitten in an evening
• the decrease by knitting two stitches together is explained explicitly and precisely in a photo tutorial
• the only slightly tricky part is picking up stitches from the knotted edge. I'll show you that very clearly too: picture by picture and
  step by step, you'll manage it well even as a beginner!

Have fun knitting!

Knitting pattern for a loop/cowl in 3 sizes

The pattern includes both a knitting chart and a written stitch-by-stitch explanation. The pattern spans two rows and is easy to remember. The loop stitch pattern is explained in detail with pictures in the pattern. You just need to know how to knit and purl stitches.

Just before the end of the month, 2 new residents have moved into my shop. Little Bear Tatjana and Sloth Mick are joining the team. They are both waiting for you to crochet them.

I’m sneaking in a little pattern here. A wash mitt is quick to knit and also makes a lovely gift idea if you ever need a little something to bring along. A colorful border turns it into a splash of color in the bathroom.

You can find the pattern here.
