Protect tiny hands with this free no-scratch baby mittens crochet pattern by Oombawka Design Crochet! Available in 3 practical sizes to fit preemie and newborn babies, this thoughtful design keeps delicate newborn skin safe from accidental scratches.
The standout feature is the button-free, elastic-free adjustable cuff. It opens wide so you can gently slip a baby’s hand right in without tugging. Once in place, the extra cuff flap tucks neatly beneath crocheted closure chains, letting you snug up the fit around the wrist so the mittens stay put. The clever pattern uses the exact same written instructions for all three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large). Simply swap crochet hook sizes to adjust the gauge! Worked from the cuff up to the fingertips in soft lightweight yarn, the cuff is crocheted flat in rows before joining in rounds to finish the hand. Grab a gentle baby yarn and hook up these practical DIY no-scratch baby mittens for your next baby shower gift basket!
