Baby Mittens Crochet Pattern
Baby Mittens Story:
Welcome to the Baby Mittens Crochet Pattern. I created this pattern while I was in the nicu with my little baby boy. He was born at 30 weeks and I was going through quite a bit of stress during that time. My husband brought me a care package at the hospital that had yarn and a hook and I am so grateful to him for doing that! If you have ever been to the nicu with a baby , then you know it feels like there is nothing you can really do for them. Its a very helpless feeling. So being able to make him something was so, so healing! This pattern is really simple, and so beautiful and soft! Lets get to it!
