Petites Mitaines
A friend of mine recently had a baby and I've been quite negligent with the knits what with Xmas and all so I finally cast on some little mittens for her.
The stitch pattern is either fleur-de-lis or peeled banana depending on your perspective...
I decided to go with the thumb-less, corded version rather than the usual cuff mainly because it looked more feminine and also babies don't need thumbs on their mittens anyway, right?
I hope they keep this little one cute and cozy this winter!!
Project Specs:
Pattern: Petites Mitaines en Fleur-de-lis from Favorite Mittens in the 0-6mos size
Yarn: Knit Picks Palette - same colors I used on my latvian mittens back in Dec.
Needles: Bamboo 2mm DPNs
Comments: This was a fun and quick knit. Not having to knit thumbs made this much less finicky than it could have been - to be honest the worst part was having to knit the little i-cord ties! I would definitely turn out another pair of these in future.

Oh my those are so adorable! good job! I wonder if I even need thumbs on mittens. That might give me some incentive to knit some for myself...
Cute Mitts!
Adorale--and so so petite! Babies definitely don't need thumbs--but I've learned that they do need the i-cord: they'll fling those things right off without it!
Those are so cute! and yes babies don't need thumbs on their mittens in my experience.
Tres belle! Insanely cute!
I agree, thumbless is the way to go - I mean, really, when is the last time you saw a baby in gloves?
So cute.
What a pretty combination of colors, and I agree about the thumbs too
Supremely lovely! Half the time my 3 yr old doesn't get his thumbs in the holes, so the shorter variety definitely won't miss them.
The little tie is so smart! And leaving out the thumbs seems like a good move. I'm not sure most babies are doing a lot of opposable-thumb tasks.
Just adorable. Perhaps I shall make some for my cats. :)
These are so pretty! I'm sure they'll be loved.
So sweet! I agree, no thumbs on tiny baby mittens is the right way to go.
Adorable. :) You're right, babies don't need thumbs ... it'd be useless anyway, because getting their thumbs in would be impossible. LOL
how stinkin cute!!!
Those are gorgeous, who wouldn't love to receive those!
Hi Vicki
thanks for the mittens. Annie will love them (so long as her hands don't grow too big before we see you next - grin).
