Newborn Protective Mittens

This crochet pattern creates a pair of soft newborn mittens designed to help protect babies from scratching their delicate skin during their first weeks of life. The mittens feature a comfortable rounded shape and a decorative scalloped cuff with openings for weaving a ribbon or crocheted tie, helping them stay securely in place.
