Next, here are some newborn or baby mitts that are super soft, cuddly and cozy. On account of the simple stitches, this is a particularly beginner-friendly pattern, as well as a great introduction to velvet yarns.
The original pattern and the photos are available on Who's Homemade blog:
Easy-On Mitts
For those of you who are unfamiliar with my Easy-On Mittens, these mittens have a wrist closure option which allows you to open and close the mitten at the wrist. I first designed these mittens for my son because he was so wiggly and I swear he had fingers sticking out all over the place - trying to get mittens on his hands was such a challenge and he always pulled them off as fast as I could get them on. These mittens open at the wrist so you can easily pop the hand into the mitten itself (not getting stuck on the narrower cuff part) and once the hand is inside you can button up the wrist closure and the hand stays inside the mitten ;) You can wear the closure on the underside of your wrist (which is how I did Drew's so he wouldn't try to undo the buttons) or on top - which is how Darla liked to wear hers because she thought they looked ‘pretty' that way. You can alternately whip stitch the cuff closed for a regular pair of mittens - this is totally up to you! These mittens have been requested for many reasons - one of which is for individuals in Nursing Homes. The wrist closure allows caregivers to slide the mittens onto the resident's hands more easily (and less painfully) and then the wrist closure can be button to ensure the mitten stays in place once on.
Velvet Mittens
The Velvet Mittens pattern is an easy to crochet pattern using Bernat Velvet that includes a full video tutorial. This pattern also includes a knit version of the mittens. The mittens are created entirely out of single crochet, starting with the cuff. The cuff is worked side to side in the back loops only to give a ribbed effect, then the ribbing is turned and the thumb shaping begins. After increasing for the thumb, the thumb stitches are left unworked while working the rest of the hand, then picked up again at the end.
Mommy's New Mitts
Introducing Mommy's New Mitts! This pattern is a new version of my original pattern Mommy's Simply Easy Mittens. This design is worked in one piece from the cuff to the tips of the fingers. A full pattern video is available to walk you through the entire mitten - and includes how to close the fingertips, seam the cuff and weave in your ends. Now in 2 Sizes! medium and large If you have questions, feel free to send me a message! These mittens are EASY to make and take approximately 1.5 hours per mitten to crochet.

Semi Homemade Gloves
Add the perfect homemade touch to any pair of store-bought gloves. These Semi Homemade Gloves also make a great homemade gift idea because they are so quick and easy to complete. Simply crochet tiny granny squares and sew them onto your favorite pair of stretchy gloves using any color combination of Craft Cord or embroidery floss you prefer.
Autumn Amore Mittens
The final pattern for the Autumn Amore Crochet Along is the Autumn Amore Mittens! These moss stitch crochet mittens are quick, cozy, and the pattern includes 3 sizes to fit your family! The Mittens, like all the Autumn Amore CAL patterns, use 3 colors. You need just one ball of each to make the mittens in any of the sizes listed! The Autumn Amore Mittens are worked in the round - but differently than we've done in the other patterns in the set! And since they are made bottom up, you'll learn how to decrease the moss stitch in the round as well with this pattern! For more information, see:
