    I love the appliques! I've been using them to decorate various items I have made for my baby daughter. (Though I can't work out how to do the star.) Thank you so much for making them available.

    I would love to make these baby mittens as well, but you haven't included a gauge and I don't know what size 8 yarn means :-(

    Hi Fjordalv, thanks for your comment!
    If you're familiar with size 10 thread, you wont have much problem using this pattern. size 8 thread is just a little bit thicker than the size 10.
    I will edit the pattern to include gauge, later (hope I remember to do it soon ;)

    Hi Mimi, I'm a beginner and the pattern does seem really simple to follow, however I am confused about one part. The part where I'm suppose to "turn to the other side of the foundation chain"on round one, am I suppose to turn to the back of the stitches I have already created or am I suppose to add to the bottom side of the foundation chain(kinda like what you would do if you were making the sole part for a pair of booties) Please help. I absolutely love the mittens and this is the easiest pattern I have found to follow. Thanks so much

    Hi, thanks for your question.
    Yes, its like making the sole part of a pair of booties. You'll also be working only on the right side of the stitches for rnds 1-13.

    Hello Mimi, these gloves are so cute.I just cant wait to make them. Is there anyway you could tell me the approximate dimensions? These will be a gift, so just want to make sure it came out right. And are these just for 0-3 months? Thank you.

      Hi Anna,these are for 0-3 mos. baby. The approx. measurement is 8cm x 7cm...though it will vary with the yarn and hook used, and the individual tension.

    Hi! Your baby mittens are so adorable! I am going to try making them with size 10 thread. What size steel crochet hook do you recommend?

      Hi, thanks for the feedback! You may use the same size hook as above which is 2mm, since the size 8 thread is just a little bit thicker than size 10 thread.

    Hi Mimi!

    Thanks for the pattern. However, I screwed up on both the yarn weight and the crochet hook size and ended up with giant baby mitts :D Anyway, may I make a suggestion? Awkward Moment of Silence - Do I wait for a reply or do I type it now? I'll wait for a reply. :D Thanks again.

      Thanks for the feedback! This is one of my first patterns, it worked for me when I had babies...which was a long time ago. I didn't have size 10 thread then and it would have worked out better if I had used that.
      My free pattern is offered as it is, showing how I made the sample in the photo.
