Crochet Newborn Baby Mittens Pattern – Easy Pattern

This week’s post features a crochet pattern for baby mittens made using Loops and Thread’s Charisma Baby yarn in Coral. I picked some up at Michael’s in different shades of pink and variegated yarn. Since the yarn is thick and the mittens are only for a newborn, this project worked up really quick!

That’s it! The bright colour of the yarn is perfect for baby mittens and the yarn is so soft it was easy to work with. Unfortunately this particular yarn has been discontinued, but there are many different baby soft yarns available to make these mittens with!
