Tiny Mitten Pattern to suit 2lb – 4lb baby
Submitted by Mary Garratt |
 | | Premature baby jacket |
| | Not all units use mitts this small, but as we have had a request from one who do not use cardigans for tinies in the incubators but they do use mitts, here are some little ones.
Thanks again to Mary Garratt from Sandbach |
Using 3.25 (No 10) needles and 4 ply wool.
(3ply may be used if wanted even smaller)
Use needles to suit
These mittens when finished in 4 ply wool measure approx 11/2" x 2" (4cm x 6cm) for the smaller ones and 13/4" x 3" ( 5cm x 8cm ) for the larger ones. They would be slightly smaller of course in 3ply
Please use white, or pastel colours
