To make these mittens even more appropriate for our little babies, there are no button closures to worry about and there is no elastic to cut off the circulation and leave red marks on our baby’s wrists.
These little mitts are adjustable and secured using the extra length of the cuff and a simple chain row closure at the wrists.
You simply slide the extra length of the cuff under the closure chains (both) and pull slightly to tighten.
If you have a lot of extra cuff once you have done this simply fold it and tuck it under the first closure chain to secure it and keep it from flopping about.
No more worrying about their sharp little nails!
I hope you love these little easy-on, no scratch baby mittens and baby loves them too.

Notes:
- Initial ch 2 counts as 1 hdc but we never work into the top of the ch 2. Instead, sl st to the first real hdc of the round (which is the stitch following the ch 2). Then work both the ch 2 and the first hdc in that first real hdc.
