This crochet pattern is written for five sizes, toddler-adult. However, the designer mentions that you can use a smaller hook and thinner yarn to decrease the size further and make crochet baby mittens. The yarn is a very thick #6 super bulky yarn so dropping down to a bulky or even worsted weight yarn would make smaller mittens that are still warm enough for winter.
As a baby gets older (s)he wants the opportunity to grab things, so fingerless crochet mitts become a nice choice. This crochet pattern comes five sizes to suit ages as young as three months and as old as five years. There is a matching crochet hat pattern.
Crochet baby mittens help to keep little ones from scratching up their faces. Make them cozy for baby with this beautiful textured pattern. These mittens are super soft and perfect for baby, but they're also perfect for the rest of the family, which is why the pattern is written for multiple sizes.
Sometimes you want a crochet basket for a specific holiday. Crochet Easter basket patterns like this one are popular for offering handmade baskets instead of store-bought ones to children who are going egg-hunting. Ditto for trick-or-treating at Halloween. Crochet Christmas baskets are great for creating your own gift sets of little items. Make a basket for any holiday!
Not sure where you're going to put another basket in your house? It helps if you can hang it up out of the way. This allows you to add storage throughout your home while taking up very little space. It is a fun way to add color to your home, too.
Baskets work for storage in the house, but they can also be used to take things outside of the house. The picnic basket is the quintessential example of a totable basket. This basket pattern has a two-part lid that replicates the classic design of picnic baskets. It uses post stitches to create a wicker-like texture to enhance the effect.
