Granny Square Fingerless Mitts - Mini Mother's Day series part 2

Hello everyone, it's time for part 2 of our mini Mother's Day pattern series and this week we have the mitts to match the boot cuffs we made in part 1.  It's another granny square design (you know how I love granny squares) and they are quick and easy to make.

The mitts will fit an average adults hands but can be adjusted for bigger or smaller hands by going up or down a hook size.  You could even use less rounds for your squares to make them the right size for a child.  The pattern is easily adjustable.

I have used Stylecraft Batik Elements in shade Magnesium and Stylecraft Batik in Cream to make my mitts, but you could use any colours you wish or make in just one colour.  This is a great project to play around with colour, the options are limitless.  I would love to see yours, why not join the Facebook group and share your photos or use #lullabylodge on Instagram.

As always an ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online store!

st(s) - stitch(es)

sk – skip

bl – back loop

mc – main colour

cc – contrast colour

Sizing:  One size, fits most.  If you would like a slightly smaller or larger size, go up or down a hook size accordingly.  You could also make these for a child by using less rounds in your granny squares, check the square against the hand you are making it for to get an idea of how many rounds you need.  If making for a child you might also want to adjust the number of chains you make for the ribbing at the wrist, just make the chain as long as you would like the ribbing to be.

Other notes:  Starting with mc alternate between mc and cc each round and join in new colours with a sl st, if you wish to make in only 1 colour, sl st to corner sp when starting a new round.     The larger sized hook is used for granny squares.  The smaller hook is used for the ribbing.
