Easy Knitted Mitten Patterns?

(Someone just asked this question the other day)
Here are some good sites for basic mittens. They are quite easy to do, with a bit of a challenge (which makes it interesting) and you really should try them. I like to do them in the round, but one of these also shows you how to do them flat, and then seam them up one side (I don't like doing seams!):

After mittens, try the fingerless gloves... and then socks!

Fingerless gloves or mittens pattern..?

I co in multipes of 4, around 28 for my arm. I do 15 rows of k2 p2. Then 12 rows of stockinette, then 10 rows of k2 p2. Fold with wrongside out. Sew up along the side leaving about two inches for the thumb, turn right side out. Wahlahh, you got a glove.

If your on Ravelry you can look me up Alegna75 and see the pic. OR you can go to http://www.myspace.com/paranormalmama and go to my pics, it will be in the Looky At What I Can Do folder.

I need a knitting pattern for the mittens, hat, and belt from the book "The Mitten" for a 4 year old.?

Most mitten patterns call for double pointed needles (to shape the thumb) but here's one that doesn't:

Knitting patterns for childs hat and mittens?

There is no standard for "medium-sized kids' mittens." Check the pattern again to see if there are any details given. The pattern should also tell you what kind of yarn to buy. If it allows worsted weight yarn (which might also be called medium weight or weight group 4 or 4-ply) then I heartily recommend Red Heart Super Saver. It works up easily, lasts forever, is comfortable to wear, and goes through the washer and dryer on warm or medium. Red Heart Soft Yarn is nice, too. Super Saver has the best colors. Personally, for mittens, I say stick with Red Heart no matter what weight of yarn the pattern needs. As a beginner, it is best to do your first project or two in a lighter color of yarn. That way you can actually see whether the stitch on your needle looks like the stitch in the book. Darker yarn makes it really hard to see if you're doing the stitches right. Whenever I answer a question about knitting books, I always recommend getting two or three of them, with at least one from the children's section! They have the best instructions.

How to knit mittens.

This is a great pair to make and the pattern is very easy to follow. They're are sized for women, but her site also has the same pair for kids. What I like about these is that you make them on 2 needles and sew up the side when you're done.

I make so many pairs of these a year I cannot even give you a number, I make a pair a day. EASY stuff. If there's anything you don't understand in the pattern, then just ask, I'll try to explain it better.

Hands down, it’s Jared Flood’s Tweed Baby Blanket.Why?It’s ridiculously easy, great for Netflix & mindless knitting.The main body is knit on the bias; easy to get a perfect square. The garter stitch means it’s reversible (looks good on both sides) and the border adds visual interest.It’s easy to adapt to different weights of yarn.Most people tend to like the finished blanket. It’s classic and understated.Real wool baby blankets are not easy to find in stores and will cost an arm and a leg if you do manage to find one. So I like giving people with new babies a (superwash) woollen blanket. And this pattern helps me churn them out relatively quickly.I’ve made… at least four. Let me go dig through my Rav project pages.Ah yes, this was the first one, and the one I’m still proudest of, because it was completely from scratch.First, I custom-ordered a fibre blend of 50% tussah silk and 50% superwash bluefaced leicester wool.Then I handpainted it:Um. Not a blanket yet, by any stretch.Sorry.I’ll take any excuse to boast about this herculean labour of love.So next, I spun the fibre into a lovely chunky 3-ply yarn:Nearly there, I promise.So then I made the Tweed Baby Blanket:Whew!This one went to my best friend’s firstborn. It’s still in regular use, after four years.And here are the others:A scrap version for using up my extra-bulky handspun scraps.Close-up!Next up, the blanket for my sister’s first child. Kept the border very minimal here.See how fun and easy it is to play with colour in this pattern?Garter stitch ftw!And finally, another handspun one.In action:How long it takes to finish one depends on the yarn weight, but all of these went pretty fast. At first, you’re increasing every row so rows will take longer and longer to finish. But then once you’ve reached the middle, you start decreasing every round and it will go faster and faster. I can probably finish one in a week, knitting all evenings.

Hi, I’ve come across the following pages for knit and crochet patterns for cat lovers of all kinds. They each have things like awesome knit cat mittens (which I absolutely adore) to the super simple cat ear hats— they’re waaaay easier to make than you’d think. Check them out!15 Knit Patterns for You and Your Feline43 Free Crochet Cat PatternsNow, if you’re looking to make something for the cat in question (and you knit), my personal favorite is this pattern for a cute pair of kitty socks my friend Kristina made for her cat recently. P.S. She also wrote out the instructions to a matching pair for the cat’s human as well. Yes, it’s as cute as it sounds ;)

When I teach knitting, I usually get people (I've taught young men, too) to make a dishcloth, specifically this pattern:Use worsted weight cotton yarn, and 5.5 mm needles.Start with casting on 3 stitches.Knit those stitches.Next row, knit 2 stitches, wrap your yarn around the needle, and knit the last stitch. You now have 4 stitches.Continue to increase the number of stitches the same way, until you have 43 in total.Now, you have to decrease. Knit one stitch, then knit 2 together. Wrap your yarn around the needle, and knit 2 together again. Knit to the end of the row. There are 42 stitches on the needle. Keep doing this row until you have four stitches left.Next row: Knit one, knit 2 together, then knit the last stitch. Now, cast off the three stitches that remain.Cut the yarn, and darn in the ends, and you have made a dish cloth.I like this pattern, it's been around for decades, and it teaches you to cast on, increase, decrease and cast off, all while making a small, usable project.I have even seen someone with very limited skill make a baby blanket this way. She just made smaller squares (fewer stitches before decreasing) and sewed them together to make a really adorable blanket. I made a square that had a hundred and seventy-five stitches at its widest point, then added a ruffle around the edge, for a baby blanket. Who knows what that simple knitted dishcloth could lead to?
