Baby Mittens with Garter Ridge - newborn/infant
Things you need:
- Size 4 double pointed needles (DPN's) - set of 4
- Worsted weight yarn, I used acrylic baby yarn
- Stitch marker
- Tapestry / yarn needle
This is a great beginner project for learning how to use DPN's and knit in the round. I made these to go with the Garter Ridge Cardigan and Baby Beanie for a friend's baby.
I started this with a long-tail cast on.
Make 2.
Cast on 30 stitches and divide between 3 DPN's (10 per needle.) Join and mark beginning of row with stitch marker. Work in K1, P1 ribbing for 5 rows.
Rows 6 and 7: Knit whole row.
Row 8: *Knit 5, inc 1, knit to end of needle; repeat from * on each needle.
Rows 9-12: Knit whole row.
Row 13: Purl whole row.
Row 14: Knit whole row.
Row 15: Purl whole row.
Rows 16 and 17: Knit whole row.
Row 18: *Knit 5, knit 2 together, knit to end of needle; repeat from * on each needle.

Row 21: Knit whole row.
Row 22: *Knit 3, knit 2 together, knit to end of needle; repeat from * on each needle.
Row 23: Knit whole row.
Row 24: Repeat row 22.
Row 25: Knit whole row.
Row 26: Repeat row 22. There should be 6 stitches left on each needle.
